The shock and other emotions of a car accident can jolt your brain and cause you to forget things that NEED to take place at the scene of an accident. These things include:
setting your hazard lights
- calling the police
- being polite and never admitting fault
- taking photos and notes of the description of each car involved
- recording the other license plate number
- exchanging information with the other driver (name, address, phone number, insurance company, policy number, driver’s license number & license plate number)
- and more
