In this instance, get as much info as possible from the other car and driver
- car make
-color
-licence plate
-Visible marks, stickers, tint, flashy rims (keep in mind if the car has other signs of being in an accident) -Pay lots of attention to the accident spot as claims will come in to repair an entire car if you give them leeway
If the driver comes out
- Do not admit liability or say "sorry" off the bat. Think before every answer as there are con artist who know how to catch you.
-Ask to exchange Permit information
-Correct Name
-Correct address
-Permit Number
ALWAYS check to make sure that theirs is not EXPIRED. They should not have been on the road in the first place
Ask to exchange Insurance information
-Policy Numbers
-Expiry Date ...If it was expired, they should not have been on the road in the first place.
No Permit or insurance means..CALL THE COPS. You have a tough case on your hands as the minute you drive off , they're history !
Lastly..get a contact number for the OWNER and the DRIVER. It may be two separate people. You can call the driver there and then and make sure their phone works and your number shows up. Communication established
