Accidents do happen, but you can make
the situation less stressful by knowing what to do in advance. If
you're involved in an accident:
• Stop, stay calm;
• Don't panic;
• Don't admit blame—you can invalidate your insurance;
• Dial 999 if necessary—you must if someone's hurt;
• Exchange details with all other parties; make sure you
get:
1. Registration(s) of other vehicle(s) involved.
2. Names of people involved
3. Addresses of people involved – ask them to show proof!
4. Insurance company or broker and whether they are the policy
holder, named driver, or a company car driver.
5. Insurance policy number and name of the company they work for.
