Driver duties and responsibilityQuestion #15235
An accident has happened in which only your car was damaged and no one was hurt. What must you do?
Explanation
Even when only your own car is damaged and no one else's property, after an accident you must stop, mark the spot and take steps to keep traffic safe. You only need to call the police if the damaged car is obstructing traffic. Simply driving off and doing nothing is not allowed — that would breach the rules.
KET reference: KET 222: If an accident caused only property damage and the injured party is not at the scene, the driver involved must immediately notify the injured party, or, if that is impossible, the police.
