An accident is always an unpleasant, dangerous, financially expensive business. But in your power to minimize losses - how? The main thing is to prevent the most common mistakes that, alas, almost all drivers make after accidents. We familiarize ourselves with the list, draw conclusions and, of course, make no mistakes.
Inattention to objects
Mistake number one - inattention to objects that relate to the accident in the most direct way. At the scene, it is necessary to conduct a thorough inspection of the traces of the accident and fix everything. Traces on the roadway, objects on the terrain, roadsides, etc. - in the future, an assessment after an accident will become much simpler and faster if you can provide the expert organization with relevant information.
Control of paperwork
Mistake number two is the lack of control over the quality of registration and the reliability of the primary procedural documents by officials. We are talking about inspection protocols from the scene of the incident, the scheme for it, inspection protocols of the vehicle, etc.
Behavioral Errors
Under the third number in the ranking of driver blunders (unforgivable, by the way) are behavioral errors provoked by stress. Even if you are to blame for the accident, you should not run away in the literal sense of the word - if the problems of other people do not bother you, then the chances of finding you are great (and they will impose additional sanctions, respectively). After the incident, faced with apathy? Get together! Otherwise, while you are standing between heaven and earth, documents, schemes, etc. can be improbably compiled, with corresponding consequences. True, trusting government officials who arrived at the scene of an accident cannot be implicitly either - by not going into details, they may be completely wrong. Do not sign documents without familiarization, even if the official arouses your sympathy, and his honesty - no doubt.
Ignoring
Mistake number four - ignoring the need to identify the person driving the car. Are you sure it was the owner? But in fact, a third party will be able to compensate for the harm caused.
Panic
Well, the fifth mistake is a general panic. Keep an eye on the situation, and if you see that a car assessment and general examination are definitely needed, take care of collecting information for professionals. The more points are clarified immediately, the less problems and ambiguities will remain afterwards.
Good luck on the road!
