Although I am a non-driver, I am currently learning (or will be when life goes back to normal) and have certainly been giving some thought to staying safe while driving. It’s such a scary thing to be in control of a whole vehicle, isn’t it? I know that none of us wants or plans to be in a road traffic accident, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be prepared, should the worst happen. At The SceneIf you are in a road traffic accident, the first priority should be ensuring that you and everyone around you are safe. Even if the accident is only minor, you must stop the car immediately when it is safe to do so Turn on your hazard lights and make sure that everyone in the vehicle is okay. Should you need to, call 999 for an ambulance immediately. You may also need the police and so should call 99 or 101 depending on the severity of the situation. As long as everyone is okay, you should make sure that you swap details with the other driver and get the contact details of anyone that witnessed the accident. If needed, you should take photos and then arrange for your car and you to make your way home safely.
