First things first when youve been hit by a fellow driver you need to stop as soon as possible.

What should you do if you accidentally hit someone's car. If you have been involved in a car or motor bike accident you need to know what things you need to do and what your rights are when dealing with other drivers or insurers. The best thing to do is take pictures of all the damage caused to both cars. If you can do so safely put your emergency blinkers on and investigate the accident.

Even if there is very little or no visible damage its a good idea to report the accident. If you or someone else is hurt call 911 immediately. If you dont have a smartphone to.

If the owner does not show up or you cant locate the owner after reasonable attempts to do so leave a note. Turn on your flashers to warn others to be cautious as you will be getting out of your car. The other driver likely didnt mean to hit your car and is as freaked out as you.

Road rage incidents can escalate quickly. Take close-ups and wide shots that include the number plates of the vehicles involved. DO get out of your car and check for injuries.

If you accidentally kill someone say in a car crash DO NOT leave the scene. You should also leave a note with your name phone number drivers license number and license plate so that the driver of the other vehicle can contact you should there be any issues. Treat this as you would any other accident and remember to take a photo of any damage to their car and yours 2.

You may need a tow truck but you are not obligated to have your car towed by tow trucks that arrive at. My husband and I actually witnessed a motorcycle hit a dog on the street in front of our house in that village. If you do discover an injury or vehicle damage later youll be prepared.
