In the case of a rear-end collision, what should you do?

In the event of a rear-end collision, the most appropriate action is to stay in your vehicle and call for help if you are unable to move. This approach prioritizes safety, as getting out of your vehicle can increase the risk of being injured by oncoming traffic or by the dynamics of the accident scene. Remaining inside provides protection from potential hazards and allows you to alert authorities without putting yourself in further danger.

If you are able to do so, it is still advisable to call for assistance to assess the situation and report the accident. Emergency services can provide further guidance and help ensure that everyone involved receives the necessary attention. Prioritizing one’s safety and ensuring that help is on the way is crucial in these circumstances.
