Drivers
Question 894 explains what a driver must do if they are involved in an accident.
You must comply with these provisions or you may face prosecution. Even if you were not at the wheel of your vehicle at the time, you may still be deemed to be the driver in legal terms so if you are in any doubt about what to do, we would suggest you report the matter to your local police force.

If you have been injured in an accident involving a vehicle, we would suggest you report the matter to your local police force as soon as possible.
