WHAT TO DO IN A VEHICLE EMERGENCY?FOLLOW THESE 4 ESSENTIAL STEPS
At Castle Point Motors, we understand that being involved in an accident or breakdown can be a stressful experience. That's why we're here to provide support and guidance, helping you stay calm and handle the situation safely.
-
Move to a Safe Location
If it's safe to do so and you're not injured, try to move your vehicle to a secure area, such as the hard shoulder or a nearby lay-by. If you can't move your car, switch on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.
-
Check on Everyone Involved
Make sure everyone is okay, including passengers and other drivers. Even if injuries seem minor, it's important to seek medical attention, as symptoms like dizziness or discomfort may require professional evaluation.
-
Contact the Police
Even in less serious incidents, having a police report is valuable for insurance claims and ensuring all details are recorded correctly. This will also help resolve any disputes that might arise.
-
Gather Important Information
Collect as much information as possible, such as:
-
Names and contact details of all parties involved
-
Vehicle make, model, and licence plate numbers
-
Insurance details
-
Contact information of any witnesses
-
The location of the incident
-
The name and badge number of any police officers attending
