I got into an accident through no fault of my own. What are my first steps?

Stop the vehicle immediately and stay at the scene of the accident. Try to be completely calm.

Turn on the emergency light alarm, put the vehicle on the "brake", turn off the engine, and only then get out of the car. Install an emergency stop sign to warn other road users and mark the collision site.

Determine if there are victims. If so, determine if there is a threat to the life of the victims. If so, immediately call 103 and call an ambulance, then determine if there are vehicles that can take the injured to a medical facility. Send the injured to the medical facility in those cars that are not involved in the accident. Take all possible measures to provide first aid to the injured.

If there are no victims, the damage to the motor vehicle is insignificant, no material damage has been caused to third parties, and the participants in the accident have determined who is to blame in the situation, the following actions are as follows: after drawing up a diagram of the event and putting signatures under it, you should arrive at the nearest police station or the authority or police unit for processing materials. If you have a road accident notification form (Europrotocol), use it to register a road accident according to the simplified procedure. An option that can be beneficial to both parties is to "separate peacefully."

If there are victims, and the participants in the accident have not decided who is to blame, report the accident to the police at number 102 (if you have not already done so).

Take a picture of the accident scene, at least on a mobile phone.

Take all possible measures to preserve traces of the accident site and organize a detour.

Write down the names and addresses of witnesses and wait for the police to arrive.

Check the traffic accident registration.
