What should I do in the event of a Traffic Accident?
If you have an accident, try to stay calm and check if anyone is injured. Do not admit or discuss liability. If someone is injured, please do not attempt to move the injured or the vehicles, unless absolutely necessary. Call 995 or 999 for ambulance and police assistance.
Exchange particulars with all parties involved and including Vehicle numbers, Name, NRIC/FIN number, Telephone number, Address and Insurer.
Take photographs of all the vehicles involved in the accident and a view of the accident scene. These are to be included in the accident report to be filed later. Obtain the particulars of any witness to the accident.
