Knowing what to do in the first minutes after a breakdown or crash can save a life, including your own. The priorities are always the same: make the scene safe, get help, protect the injured and keep yourself out of passing traffic.
This section explains how to give way to ambulances and fire engines (move left, stop if needed, and keep 50 metres behind them), what to do after a breakdown, and your duties after a crash under Section 134 of the Motor Vehicles Act. It also explains the Good Samaritan protection in Section 134A, police reports, insurance claims, no-fault compensation and claims before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal.
