If you have been involved in a road traffic accident, try to follow these basic steps:

  • If you are involved in a road traffic accident in which someone (other than you) has been injured, or where damage has been caused to someone else's property, then you must stop and give the other people involved in the road traffic accident your name and address (and the name and address of the owner of your vehicle if not you), registration number and insurance details.If you are unable to stop, you must give these details to the police within 24 hours.

  • No matter what the circumstances of the road traffic accident, do not make any comments about who you believe caused the accident.

  • Write down the names and addresses of the other drivers involved.

  • Write down the make, model, colour and registration number of the other vehicles involved in the road traffic accident.

  • Write down the damage that has been caused to the other vehicles involved in the road traffic accident.

  • Write down the name, address and phone number of any witnesses who saw what happened.

  • Draw a rough sketch of the road traffic accident scene, showing road junctions, traffic lights and the positions of all vehicles involved following the road traffic accident.

  • As soon as possible write down what happened.
