Advice on what to do in the event of an accident

You may not want to think about the worst when driving, but how
many of us actually know what to do if we are involved in an
accident?

Hopefully we’ll never need to find out but just in case the worst
does happen, Carrentals.co.uk offers some tips on what to do after
an accident.

Check for injures: After an accident your first priority should be to


check yourself, any passengers and any other drivers for signs of
injury – your health is much more important than any damage to
vehicles.

Call for help: If anyone is injured cheque the ABC of First aid –
airway, breathing, and circulation. Make sure someone calls for an
ambulance and keep any casualties warm and immobilised.

Report the accident: No matter how major you may think the
accident is, always report it to the police straight away so that you
have an official record of the incident.

Move cars: Drivers involved in minor accidents with no serious


injuries should move cars to the side of the road and out of the
way of the oncoming traffic.

If they cannot be moved, drivers and passengers should remain in


the cars with seatbelts fastened until help arrives. Turn on hazard
warning lights and put out cones or warning triangles. Make a
note of any specific damage to all cars.
