If you are the driver you MUST STOP and give the vehicle's registration number, your name and address, and that of the owner; to anyone who needs it.
In addition, you should:

• Ensure the safety of yourself and others.

• If necessary, warn other traffic without putting yourself in danger.

• Ensure the police, fire and ambulance services are called to attend the scene if they are required.

• If you or anyone else present feels able to assist, treat any injured person or animal.

• Obtain the details of any witnesses.

• Note and record the positions of the vehicles.

The policy number and the address of the drivers insurance company is all that is generally required. These details are contained on every insurance certificate. As a driver you must give your insurance details to anyone who has been injured or to anyone who wishes to make a claim against you, even though you may feel you are not to blame for the accident. Likewise, you may ask for another persons insurance if you have been injured or you wish to make a claim against them.

Failure to provide insurance details in these circumstances may constitute to an offense, which should be reported to the police. The police will only record insurance details where a person has been injured in a road accident. Your insurance company should be informed of any accident you are involved in and will offer assistance and advice to you.
