It's inevitable - you're bound to be involved in some type of car accident during your driving lifetime. Many people don't know what to do and how to handle it. Here are some suggestions...
1. STOP - no matter what stop your vehicle. (Even if you hit an animal, STOP and make a common sense decision on what to do next....i.e. find the owner of the dog, call Humane Society, etc.)
2. Exchange necessary information with the other driver. (Driver License, Current address/phone, Insurance information) Leave this information in a note if you hit a parked car.
3. Call 911 if there are injuries.
4. Cooperate with police, EMT's, etc.
Of course, AVOIDING accidents is in your best interest...remember that the following are the most common causes of accidents. Do your best to AVOID doing these things. STAY ALERT and FOCUSED on DRIVING while driving.
Unsafe Speed - Driving Too Fast
Inattentive Driving - Talking on a cell phone, texting, eating, etc.
Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road
Improper Turns
Violation of right-away rules
Violation of stop signs
