Who to reach
Contact information
What to collect from another driver, what a witness note should contain, and how to keep your own emergency contacts reachable offline.
Who to reach
01
The other driver
Name, phone, plate, insurer, and policy number. Photograph the documents rather than transcribing them.
02
Witnesses
A name and a phone number recorded in the moment is worth more than a detailed account you cannot verify later.
03
Your own list
Two contacts, your insurer, and your roadside provider, written on paper in the glovebox.
