What steps should you take after a minor crash with no injuries?

• A. Stop, exchange information, document details, call the police if required, and report to your insurer as needed
• B. Drive away immediately
• C. Call a friend to help
• D. Ignore the scene and continue driving

Answer: (A)

After a minor crash with no injuries, the priority is to handle the situation safely and legally at the scene. Stop your vehicle, move to a safe spot if you can, and exchange names, addresses, license and insurance details with the other driver. Document what happened by taking photos of the damage, the vehicles, the scene, and noting the time and place. Call the police if required by your local laws or if there’s a dispute, significant damage, or any injuries—their report provides an official record. Finally, report the incident to your insurer as needed so you can begin the claim process and meet policy requirements. This approach protects everyone involved and helps you handle the aftermath correctly. Driving away, asking a friend for help instead of handling the official steps, or ignoring the scene are unsafe and could lead to legal trouble or denied claims.
