Accident or breakdown?
- Get safe: stop, hazard lights on, everyone out and away from traffic. Call 123 (ambulance) if anyone is hurt.
- Call the police on 122 and the Recars 24/7 hotline. Don't move the car after an accident until police arrive (unless unsafe).
- Take photos: all sides of every car, plates, damage, road and the other driver's licence.
- Get a police report (محضر) — insurance cover requires it for any accident or theft.
- Don't sign anything or agree to repairs. Send the photos and report number to Recars on WhatsApp.
