SAFER DRIVING TIPS

CRASH SCENE

Crash scenes

If you see a crash and it's being attended to, don't slow down and gawk. You'll only contribute to another traffic hazard.

If you are involved in a crash, or at a crash scene, remember that they are very hazardous places. Be concerned for the continued safety of yourself and other people - especially from other vehicles passing.

This is what you do:
  • Stop immediately.
  • Turn on hazard lights, indicator and headlights to warn other traffic and light the scene at night.
  • Assign someone to warn oncoming traffic, if possible.
  • Help any injured people.
  • In an emergency dial 000 (or 112 on some mobiles) and alert police and ambulance if necessary.
  • Ensure drivers have exchanged names, addresses, insurance and vehicle details.
  • Clear any debris from the road.
