When handling a minor collision accident, you should pay attention to stopping the vehicle for inspection, being aware of the surroundings, collecting evidence, and recording vehicle information, among other things. Additional information: Ways to resolve a traffic accident: If the collision between the two parties is not serious, they can directly settle privately and resolve it on their own; if the two parties cannot reach an agreement, they should call the police as soon as possible for handling, and the traffic police team will issue an accident determination certificate; regarding vehicle damage, coordination can be attempted again, and if coordination fails, a lawsuit can be filed to resolve the issue. Circumstances requiring police involvement in a minor collision accident: The driver does not have a valid motor vehicle driver's license. The driver is under the influence of alcohol or other illegal driving conditions.
If I accidentally encounter a minor collision while driving, the first thing is not to panic. I'll immediately turn on the hazard warning lights and slowly move the car to a safe spot on the roadside to avoid stopping in the middle of the road and causing a secondary accident. After getting out of the car, I'll first check if anyone is injured, including myself and others. If there are injuries, I'll call 120 immediately or provide first aid. Then, calmly exchange necessary information with the other driver: license plate number, insurance company name, policy number, and phone number, and don't forget to note the time and location. I'll take multiple photos with my phone, including the damaged parts of both vehicles and their overall positions, to facilitate insurance processing. After that, depending on the situation, I'll either call the police or contact the insurance company directly. Staying calm is crucial, and it's best to avoid arguments and resolve minor issues peacefully. After handling the situation, remember to follow up on the insurance claim and get the car repaired as soon as possible. As a new driver, I always reflect on whether I was driving too fast or distracted—prevention is the most important thing.
