Every day I hear different stories about what people should do if they are involved in a crash regardless if the Police attend or not it has really shown that many people don't actually have much idea of what their legal obligations are.
So, I thought people may be interested to read what their legal obligations are that might also save them their licence

Post crash legal requirements
It is better to arrive 30 seconds late in this world than 30 years early in the next

Re: Post crash legal requirements
It is not a legal requirement to notify your inurers usually just a compliance issue under the terms and conditions, but even then if you are making a third party claim, very often they do not need to be told until the claims process has started.Kwacky wrote:You need to tell your insurer as well, as soon as you can.
The article is only referring to the immediate side of the road post crash requirements though.

Re: Post crash legal requirements
Yep. Sorry. I should have gone into full lawyer mode and made it clear that it's not a legal requirement to notify your insurers but it is a contractual requirement.
