From experience, we know that drivers aren’t always entirely certain what they should do when the accident wasn’t their fault. We’re here to help with that.
At this point, you’re likely to be either:
At the roadside after a non fault accident.
Away from the scene after a non fault accident.

What to do in a car accident when you’re at the roadside.
A large portion of car accidents on UK roads usually involve people who have never had a car accident in the past.
Knowing what to do in a car accident is common amongst a lot of people, especially if the accident was not your fault; this requires a very different process.
Check for injuries to yourself and any passengers in your car.
Consider calling the police and report the accident, even if it's minor.
Exchange details with the other driver(s) involved, including name,
contact information, and insurance details.
Collect evidence at the scene, such as photos of the vehicles, any damage
sustained, and the location of the accident.
Gather contact information for any witnesses to the accident.
The next dilemma…
Is my car suitable to drive after a car accident?
The occurrence of accidents can range in severity and can happen in various circumstances, making it challenging to predict or estimate the damage to a vehicle without conducting a thorough investigation.
However, knowing if a vehicle is safe to drive away after an accident is incredibly important before making a judgement call.
“My car doesn’t look too damaged but i’m not sure what has been affected”
”I really want to leave the roadside now, it’s not really safe to stay here and it’s been a really stressful ordeal”
”I have my family in the car, and I don’t want to endanger them further by driving an unroadworthy car”
”What are the legal implications of my car’s current situation If i get pulled over after driving away?”
”My car is definitely damaged beyond being drivable, but I need to get home”
Use the tabs below to see if your vehicle is roadworthy or unroadworthy:
Your side mirrors are intact and fit for purpose
Your headlights and brake lights are functioning properly
Your wheels are properly aligned and unaffected
There are no leaking fluids from the vehicle
Your bonnet / doors able to lock and open
Your side mirrors are not intact and/or aren’t fit for purpose
Your headlights and/or brake lights aren’t functioning properly
Your wheels aren’t properly aligned or affected
There are leaking fluids from the vehicle
Your bonnet and/or doors aren’t able to lock and/or open
If your car hasn’t met minimum standards of being unroadworthy, we recommend that you consider non fault accident roadside recovery as your next step.
We can help with that, at no cost to you.

While you’re waiting for our roadside recovery:
- Safely and carefully, consider placing the vehicle in the safest location possible. Sometimes, this won’t be possible and that is ok.

- Place warning triangles around the vehicle, in the recommended positions (source to warning triangles)
Our recovery process will have you safe and sound, in no time at all.
