It never hurts to be well-prepped for worst case scenarios.
No one expects to be involved in a car accident. But it can happen in the blink of an eye – whether its your fault or someone else’s.

- Turn your engine off.
- Switch on your Hazard lights.
Identify Any Injuries and Contact the Emergency Services

- If you or anybody else is injured, call the ambulance and police by dialing 999.
Exchange Details with Third Parties
