What to do if you have an accident
- DO stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as it's safe to do so, then switch on your hazard lights.
- DO stay calm, take some deep breaths and check whether anyone is injured.
- DO call the emergency services if anyone is hurt, as soon as you've made sure everyone is safe from further harm.
- DO call 0333 207 9654 as soon as possible so we can assist you promptly.
