What to Do When a Collision Occurs While Driving?
1 Answers
If a collision occurs while driving, you can take the following steps: If the vehicle collision results in minor damage and both parties have no dispute over responsibility, first, take photos of the scene and then move to a location that does not obstruct traffic to avoid causing congestion. Next, report the incident to the traffic police and your insurance company. If there is a dispute between the parties regarding the responsibility or cause of the accident, it is even more important to preserve the scene, call the police, and notify the insurance company. The traffic police will determine the responsibility for the accident according to standard procedures, and the insurance company will assess the vehicle damage. After vehicle repairs, compensation will be made based on the responsibility determined by the police. According to Article 86 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a traffic accident involving motor vehicles or between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles on the road does not result in personal injuries or fatalities, and the parties involved have no disputes over the facts and causes, they can record the relevant details, sign jointly, and then leave the scene to negotiate compensation matters on their own. In the event of a serious accident with casualties, protect the scene, call 110 and 120, and evacuate the people in the vehicle. If there is only vehicle damage, report to the police and inform the insurance company to acknowledge responsibility for the accident. After both parties agree and sign, the traffic police will issue a Road Traffic Accident Responsibility Determination Certificate.
