When you are involved in an accident,
make sure that people in your vehicle and the other vehicle
are not hurt. If anyone is hurt and requires an ambulance,
dial 999 and an operator will assist you. If everyone is
all right, then look over the damages that have occurred.
Call 999 and request for the traffic police and do not move
the vehicles. The traffic police will arrive and will evaluate
the accident and will fill out an accident form. One copy
of the accident form will be given to both individuals in
the accident and the license of the individual who caused
the accident will be taken. If you caused the accident,
you will need to take the form to your insurance company.
Whether or not your insurance company fixes your car, they
will give you a letter that can be taken to the police station
to get your license back. If you didn't cause the accident,
then you can take the form to the other driver's insurance
company, so that their insurance company can fix your vehicle.

| 1. |
Nobody but the police has the right to ask you for
your driver's license or car registration. |

As you have insurance on your vehicle, if the other
person asks you for money to fix their vehicle, don't
give them any. |
If an accident was caused to you, then you should know these
points
| 1. |
Don't get angry about it because it happens to everyone. |
| 2. |
If the damages are very minor, then just forget about
the incident and go about your business. |
