hello so in this video we're going to take a look at what to do if you're involved in a car crash
I'm going to tell you what the legal requirements are what you must do then
more importantly maybe well you mustn't do there are certain things you mustn't
do or say or you could end up in trouble so let's get straight into the video now
look at three major things you must do immediately if you're involved in a car
crash so the first one is most importantly check if anyone in your
vehicle is injured make sure you look at everyone but ask everyone if you feel
okay say if you've had a friend asleep in the
back seat don't just assume that they're still asleep that may have been injured
you do need to if it's safe to do so wake them up and check if they're okay
they'll probably been working up anyway but even in fairly minor crashes
people can get injured quite easily know if anyone is injured of course call for
an ambulance the next thing you need to do is make
sure you get the number plate of the other vehicle
it's very common I've had this happen to me where people crash into you they
realize it's their fault and it's Drive off and it's hoping that you haven't got
the number plate now if you've got an in-car camera system they are invaluable
not the one I use it's so handy to have that because if they do drive off no no
you can't prove they drew they drove off before other than them to apply to
anyway because you'll have got it recorded before the crash they even
happened the third thing you need to do is don't just jump out your vehicle so
before you get out your car have a look around and taken the situation around
you does it look suspicious are there any people standing at the side of the
road he looked like they may be talking to
the other driver is the more than one person in the other vehicle it's a two
or three people in that car is anyone on the phone before the crash even happened
they got cameras filming you because when I last what happens a lot on a
nowadays is people will get together in a car they'll go and cause a crush then
they'll all pretend they've injured two men loads of money and I conveniently
had their phones out filming at the time of the crush to trying you know to make
the money off you to try and get the conversation another thing that can
often happen is that people which won't steal your car they'll go and Nick a car
will buy an old banger and then are driving is your vehicle called
and then they'll just get out when you get a you jump out to look at the car
see what damage you is they'll get in your vehicle and drive off so those
things are rare but they do happen so if you involved in the crush number one
check your people injured number two okay the other vehicles number plate and
number three don't just jump out of the vehicle assess your surroundings if you
look suspicious lock the doors and stay in your vehicle if it's safe to do so
now let's move on to why you actually need to do when you meet the driver so
when you carry your vehicle then you made the other driver the main thing is
keep calm and polite don't start making threats don't get angry don't start
saying they're an idiot and they've crashing their serum and all that you
learning about the situation worse now by law they must give you their details
if they refuse that's a good enough reason to call the police you can't just
have a crush and say I'm not telling you where I live no not going to tell you
you must by law give the other person your details the minimum you should go
through the person is a name address and I can turn them but if it isn't their
vehicle you also need the address of the owner and the vehicle now there are some
situations where you might feel threatened maybe the other person has
been aggressive maybe the son I'm going to find out where you live and I'm going
to come and sort you out tonight no another situation now I've
never been in this situation myself but I believe you can do you can nominate a
police station so you say to the person look I won't give you my details now
because I believe you're going to do something stupid I'm going to go down a
local police station I'm not going to give them my details tell them which
station it's going to be now that advice used to be on an official government
website he was actually taken down a few days ago just before I film this video
so I would say that you're better off giving them your details right away but
if you've got a very good reason to feel that threatened by them although they
are making threats against you don't feel ashamed to call the police if
they're being aggressive and they're threatening you you've got every right
to do that now next thing you need to do is take photos and/or video of your
vehicle now pretty much everyone's got a phone with a camera on these days so get
your phone out take some photos why because what can happen is people
will have a fairly minor crush and then the other person will go away and have
another crush although you start getting a hammer smashing the car in and I
minded damaged much worse than it is to try and get and you car out of it
instead he just have a linear bumper but I'll know my hole for an end it was
smushed in look at it and they've gone in driven into a lamppost or something I
know it sounds unlikely but it does happen you need to take pictures of your
vehicle and the other vehicle to make sure that that's the damage there was
there trying to video it you know I've done this several times as you'll see
almost sites there were several videos on there you can watch me involved
several different crushes and say Howard out with them and I do take photos in my
vehicle and the other vehicle it's essentially the eyes because
unfortunately people are not honest anymore and people will try and make
money out of a bad situation now if you've been involved in the crash
you know position let's say you're on an amide you Junction you do need to try
and get out of the way but make sure you get the details first make sure you get
the other drivers name address and number trying it up before you move away
from the area unless you in the media danger because guess what some drivers
won't give you the details they'll just say oh yeah we'll drive around the
corner pull over there and I'll give them a name then they just
drive off when you get the other person to give you the details make sure that I
buy them name don't write them down yourself don't be there with a pen and
paper so much your name what's your address get them to write it down why or
two reasons first of all it proves that over there because you've got their
handwriting on a piece of paper I had a crush once where the other driver said I
wasn't even there on the only thing about it and I'll send
the document a bit of paper he'd written on so my June scum date and I said to
him ball can you explain if you weren't there how come he's got your handwriting
with you know him the dress on and he tried to make out all that's because I
know him any was going to come into my house do some painting or some rubbish
get them yeah get them to write down their details it proves one they over
there and he also proves secondly that those are the details I gave you you
could write it down a name say oh no I didn't sign number ten or
said number 20 you must have misheard me and are trying to fake it so get them to
ride the details own never ride and Diaoyu so you write down your details
they have all known their details don't just listen to other sign and write it
down now if you've crushed into another
vehicles you need to design for each vehicle if you're involved in a three or
four car pileup each person needs to give their details well if you've
crashed into a parked car we need to make a know the details it's a good idea
to leave your details on a paper underneath their windscreen wiper just
put a note saying you know this vehicles involved in accident these are Mardis
house this is mine Shira and then they can contact you if you've injured any or
hun injured if you've damaged any way called street furniture not benches
lamppost it's a good idea to call the council and tell them you don't always
have to you know if you saw could it all scratched on the lung person something
if you've caused serious damage to a bus stop for example you need to contact the
owner of that property and tell them otherwise you could end up in more
trouble because you haven't told them now so far that's what should do let's
have a look what you shouldn't do never ever admit fault for the crush the
reason for this is you don't know if it's your fault or not now let's look at
this scenario for example you're driving down the road
it's just sorry you know you're going a little bit over the speed limit
eating 33 in a third zone a car pulls out from the left and you crash into
them and you get out sunl sorry sorry I was going to see fast
that's my fault and the other drivers thinking what a mug I was on my phone I
didn't even sting coming down the road and he's just emitted it's his fault
don't be like that don't ever admit fault don't say sorry because saying
sorry is our way of admitting fault all you need to do is exchange details leave
the scene you be very cold and calculated don't saw get into arguments
don't start saying it's falsities don't start saying you're injured
now the reason so don't start saying you're injured is in many injuries
actually don't appear dull hours or sometimes even days later when you get
these people who are involved in a car crash and the start sign or me neck
in a corpsman exerting I've had a wee plush and he didn't start four hours
till after the crash so people start saying that they're injured maybe they
are but they often you don't feel injuries till later on so if you run
your phone you insurers to report the accident don't tell them you injured
unless you are of course tell them you are injured but don't make out you
injured if you're not don't try my money from conversation because if you do that
but you couldn't evaluate your whole claim unless you are I call of course
actually injured don't try and make some money for me because unfortunately
nowadays people involved in car crashes one of the first things people think is
all great money or get thousands conversation it isn't that easy you will
have to locate through medical medical examinations and it's not as easy as you
once so please don't go and try make money out of a bad situation after
you've been involved in the crash write down what happened Strada why why
because you're forgetting you might be surprised by this but within an hour of
a crash you start to died things when it happens you'll think why did i polite I
was clearly Stigler left they didn't see it and I would see lighter your mind
start playing stops to fight tricks on you and you'll think hold on was I
signaling do you know put it on did he wide me to go what did I imagine that
it's so easy to forget write it down as soon as you can but I done everything
you think I'll go even better get you come right and record it speaking to the
camera saying exactly what happened because believe me your mind apply
tricks on you and you'll start to die will actually happened
take it easy because a crash can have more of an effect on you than you think
maybe sad the rest of the day off work if you were going to go out somewhere
maybe don't go out somewhere it's surprising how much the car crash can
affect you and it's quite a comment if you to feel nothing at the time and a
few hours later your hands are shaking you start getting a pounding headache
stomach acts are very common you'll get horrible horrific stomach cramps and you
might need a day off work or off whatever you do so take it easy up to a
crush and give yourself a few days to recover even if it's fairly minor
the final thing I'll say for now is don't talk to the other persons in
shira's you're very often get a phone call from the other person's he/she was
a few days later or even a few hours later saying we understand you've been
involved in a crush we're really sorry it was our our persons full will give
you some money we'll settle it now that normally means that I know it's going to
be very expensive and I know that they were a fault
not the problem this is once you've set all the case if you accept money for
that case that's all yet you can't cabal later not
for more so they may offer you a thousand pounds anything with thousand
pounds I'll type that your car goes for garage and the side is three thousand
pounds of damage and you might be covered because you've already accepted
what they offered you before now in terms of going for Gary's getting it
fixed and all that you insurers will go through that with you so I'm not gonna
go over one now it's different for every company but most companies will arrange
feet secured to a garage of their choice I'm gonna prove to Peres you will
normally get a courtesy car but there's so many variations on that I'm not going
to go over them all so I hope you found that video helpful it is really useful
to know what to do at the scene of a crash and if you have nobody watch them
have a look at the videos I've done where you can watch me being involved in
a crash myself and have a look at what I did
I've been looking well actually happened and you'll see me following these pieces
of advice myself so thanks for watching remember those points I've told you and
you shouldn't have too much trouble if you are lucky enough to be involved in a
car crash
