What to do in the unfortunate event of an accident?

Stop the car - turn off the engine and switch the hazard lights on

Check for injuries - if anyone is hurt call 999. If there are NO INJURIES to yourself or other persons, make a note of it

Exchange details - make, model, colour and number plate of the vehicles involved or take pictures of them. The driver's name, address, phone number & insurance details

Record further details - time & date of crash. The driving conditions, including the weather, lighting and road quality. Where possible take pictures of the scene, positions of the cars involved and any damage to the cars 

Ask for witness details - if necessary obtain the name, address and telephone number of any witnesses on the scene
