According to statistics, every resident of a large city who regularly uses motor vehicles, gets into traffic accidents twice a year. In the event of a collision on the road, it is necessary to call the traffic police at the scene of the accident.

If an accident occurs on the road, you must immediately stop the car (if it has not stopped moving due to a blow). First of all, you need to make sure that everything is in order with you and the passengers. Then get out of the car and, together with another participant in the collision, assess the damage. On a minor accident (for example, a light touch of bumpers), you can sometimes close your eyes. In other cases, you need to call the traffic police inspector.

Worldwide, emergency services are called from a mobile phone at 112. It is important to know that this call is possible even with a negative account balance, with a locked keyboard and in conditions of a very weak network signal. When you dial 911, the call is automatically redirected to emergency services. But you can call 02 only from a stationary (home) device or a street payphone (which also will not ask you for a fee to make a call).

Inform the operator of the reason for the call (traffic accident) and the address of your location). The attendant will ask you if there are any injured people or if the carriageway is busy. If the answer is no for both questions, be patient - inspectors first of all go on road accidents that interfere with traffic.

Never, even if you are very tired or in a hurry, do not leave the scene of an accident! This momentary weakness can cost you dearly - even criminal liability. An exception is to leave a place of an accident in order to call emergency services (if it is not possible to call on a mobile phone). If the driver makes a call and returns, there is nothing wrong with his actions.
note
When leaving the car, always close it, even if you go out for a minute and not far. Remember road swindlers who intentionally tune up small accidents with the goal of taking valuable things (wallet, phone, navigator) from the car of an agitated victim.
Useful advice
If your opponent has lost his temper and is threatening a scandal or a fight, get in the car and block the doors, keep calm and wait for the representatives of law and order to arrive.
