Your Goal: Establish Identities and Find Witnesses
4. Do not discuss the accident with anyone but police. If you are criticized or threatened, write down what is said but do not respond or argue.
5. Get photographs of vehicles and other objects involved. The first picture should be of the other car's license plate. Include skid marks, if any, and full views of the scene. Use the best camera available, cell phone pictures are better than no pictures at all.
6. Exchange information with all drivers involved in the accident. Note the following information:
a. Name, address, and driver's license number of the DRIVER
