Tips: How to stay safe in a car accident

Dear fellow friends,

I knew that many of you had gained a driving license or still having driving lessons.Thus, these are the information that can be pretty useful when you meet an accident.

But, I do pray that none of you will meet an accident.

So,DRIVE SAFELY!!

You just heard and felt the crunch of hitting another car. What do you do now?

*Stay calm.

*If no one is hurt ans the cars are driveable,drive off the roadway.

*If the cars are not driveable,you are now a potential hazard to yourself and other

drivers.Put your hazard lights on.

*Look around.Be aware of oncoming and passing cars.When safe,get out of car,stay

out of the street and set out cones to warn other cars of the accident.

*Exchange information with the other driver.

*When all information is exchanged and cars are driveable,get back into the

car,watch for traffic and safely re-enter the roadway.

*This is not the time to blame or find fault.Likewise,this is not the time to settle the

accident.Do not accept payment on the spot for damages.
