Many people would be amazed at how often people forget in a time of panic to actually do that.
• Check on other people who have been involved. It is important to notify the proper officials for injuries and to get an officer on scene to do the all important accident/incident report.

• If you can’t drive your vehicle away from the accident scene it is important to make sure you have emergency roadside assistance.
