THE WORST ADVICEWE HAVE HEARD ABOUTWHAT TO DO AFTERA CAR ACCIDENT OKC

DON'T NEGLECTTO FILE

A REPORT

1

WHEN YOU GET INTO AMINOR FENDER BENDER WITH

ANOTHER DRIVER,DON'T SETTLE WITH

EXCHANGING OF INFORMATIONWITHOUT CALLING THE POLICE

AND MOVE ON.

It's illegal tofail to report

an accidentto the police.

"WHAT MIGHTHAVE I MISSED?"

IF HE OR SHE HASARREST WARRANTS,

CURRENT INSURANCE,OR EVEN A DRIVER'S LICENSE.

Do you thinkthe otherdriver hasgiven youaccurate

information?

YES IT IS BUT IT'S BETTERIN THE LONG RUN,ESPECIALLY IF YOU

UNCOVER MOREEXTENSIVE DAMAGE LATER.

Might seemlike a hassle?

SO STOP ANDREPORT THE ACCIDENTTO THE POLICE SO THEY

CAN SORT IT OUT.

DON'T CAUSEANOTHERACCIDENT

2

THAT'S PARTIALLY TRUE.IF POSSIBLE, YOU SHOULDMOVE YOUR CAR WITHOUT

CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE.

It's wrong tomove a vehicle

after anaccident has

occurred.

YOU DON'T WANTTO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

ANOTHER WRECK OREVEN A MULTI-CAR PILEUP,

RIGHT?

Leaving itwhere it ispresents ahazard toothers o

the road.

AT LEAST PUT YOURHAZARD LIGHTS ONAND SAFELY ALERT

ONCOMING DRIVERS.

"I can't movemy car to asafe place

(for whateverreason)."

DON'TSAY SORRY

3

IF YOU THINK YOU MAYHAVE BEEN TO BLAME

OR PARTIALLYTO BLAME FORAN ACCIDENT.

Don'tadmit

it!

ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OFLAW ENFORCEMENT,

IT CAN CAUSE YOU TO GETIN TROUBLE AND

TO HAVE TO PAY LATERON DOWN THE ROAD.

"What's gonnahappen if I saysorry or takethe blame forthe accident?"

WHO KNOWS?IT MIGHT LATER BE

DISCOVERED THAT YOUACTUALLY WEREN'T.

Just don't sayanything.

Even if youthink you were

at fault.

BE POLITE ANDCOURTEOUS TO

THE OTHER DRIVER.

If you knowyou weren't

at fault.

WHEN YOU REPORTWHAT HAPPENED AND

HOW THE OTHERDRIVER CAUSEDTHE ACCIDENT.

But standyour

ground.

THERE YOU GO!A FEW DEFINITE

"DONT'S"FOR DEALING

WITH WRECKS.
