What are the measures to deal with a car collision?

Here are the measures to deal with a car collision: 1. Increase lateral distance: When vehicles are meeting, overtaking, or avoiding obstacles, they are prone to scraping or colliding with each other or other objects, so the lateral distance between vehicles should be increased. 2. Reduce frontal collisions: When there is a possibility of a head-on collision with another vehicle while driving, first turn slightly to the right, then appropriately turn back, and quickly press the brake pedal. If a frontal collision with another vehicle is unavoidable, apply emergency braking to minimize the impact. At the moment of a head-on collision, quickly release the steering wheel, lift both legs, and lie sideways on the right seat to avoid being pinned by the steering wheel.
That time I rear-ended someone while driving, my heart skipped a beat but I had to stay calm and handle it properly. First, ensure your own safety—don’t rush out of the car; check if everyone in the vehicle is okay. If anyone is injured and unable to move, call 120 for emergency help immediately. Then, turn on the hazard lights to warn other drivers of the danger, and slowly move the car to a safe spot on the roadside. Place a warning triangle 50 meters away as a caution marker. Quickly call the police (110 or 122) to report the accident location and details like oil leaks or fire risks. While waiting for the police, avoid arguing with the other party—take photos of the vehicle damage as evidence for insurance claims. Finally, exchange driver’s licenses and contact info, and don’t impulsively settle privately. The lesson: always carry a first-aid kit to handle minor injuries temporarily and avoid secondary harm. Remember, road safety comes first, and staying composed after an accident is crucial.
I just learned to drive and had a minor collision, which was quite unsettling, but I learned my lesson. After a collision, first stop the car but don't turn off the engine, turn on the hazard lights to warn surrounding traffic to avoid further accidents. Then check the condition of your car and the other party, don't move any injured people, and call emergency services immediately. Set up a warning sign or flashing light to alert following vehicles to slow down. Contact the traffic police to report the accident, clearly stating the location and vehicle types, and don't forget to take photos of the front and rear damage for insurance claims later. The key is to remember not to admit full responsibility or argue, stay calm, exchange information, and wait for the police to decide. Related advice is to always keep emergency tools in the car, like a flashlight and reflective vest, for safer nighttime driving.
