Driving tip: Accidents will happen ...
Hopefully, you will never be involved in an accident, either as a learner driver or after you have passed your driving test. The best way to avoid accidents is to adopt a safe driving attitude and follow the advice of your instructor.
However, if you are, you have a legal duty to stop - even if it is only a minor bump.
If you have an accident involving injury you must inform the police. It is always a good idea to get the details of witnesses, this will help with insurance claims, or in the event of a police investigation. Ask your driving instructor for more information.
Be prepared.
There are several things that you can do to reduce further risk and save lives if you are at the scene of an accident. As a driver, you owe it to yourself, and others, to be as knowledgeable as possible about these actions for coping with accidents.
This information is not only essential for safety during your driving lessons - it is absolutely essential for safe driving after you pass the driving test.
