Serious accident
- Switch on your warning lights to warn the traffic
- Pull on a safety bib before leaving your vehicle. This applies to all occupants
- After an accident or during a breakdown on the road/highway no-one should remain in the vehicle. Only in the event of (suspected) injury should you leave that person in the vehicle
- Never remain in the carriageway
- Never push a car to the roadside
- Always be aware of the traffic, also any traffic on the hard shoulder
- Stand behind the crash barrier (middle or verge) or in the verge, but do not cross carriageways
- Explain where you are; are you on a road or a highway?
- When reporting the accident or breakdown provide all the information about the closest marker post:
the road number, like A4; the marker post, like 50.8 Li (left) of Re (right) and (if stated) the black
letter on the yellow background, like ‘t’
- Any injured people: how many, how serious, trapped?
- How many trucks, cars or motorbikes are there?
- Are there hazardous substances (orange board with numbers or warning boards)?
In that case keep a distance of 100 metres and the wind in your back NB On the basis
of your information, the emergency centre will call in the requisite emergency services
