If anyone is injured or danger is immediate, call police on 999 and give the precise location. Provide assistance within your ability and necessary knowledge, following emergency instructions about moving people or vehicles rather than creating further risk.
For a minor collision without injuries, follow the reporting route approved in that emirate and move the vehicle clear of traffic where safe. Record the time, location and parties’ details without exposing yourself or other road users to additional danger.
Keep the accident report, lawfully taken photographs, insurance details and correspondence. Fault, recoverable damage and insurance coverage depend on evidence and policy terms; read the legal and financial scope of any settlement before signing it.
A practical next step
Assess immediate danger and medical needs first, report promptly through an approved route, and retain the report reference and insurance records.
