Let the police decide whose fjult it was. Do not lie. Especially if the accident was your fault, do not lie to cover yourself. This only causes more problems, w ith both the police and your insurance company. Tell the police everything that happened as best as you can remember. Do not wander the street. Stay on the side of the road or on the sidewalk. Sit down and stay calm - do not overreact. Frantic, panicked people only cause more problems. There is also the danger of being hit by a passing car if you are pacing back and forth in the road. Stay in control. Check for inj'uries. If there are any problems, have the person who calls the police tell them so that they can send help. Never wait until they get to the scene, because by then it could be too late, even for minor injuries. Be prepared when police arrive. Inspect your car from front to back and top to bottom so you know what damage there is. DO NOT LIE about damages to your car that did not happen in this PS tai'rb'.

As a new generation of drivers. teens should be the ones to start cleaning up Utahs reputation for drivers. BE NICE while behind the wheel. Use turn signals. If drivers start driving more cautiously now, the number of accidents will go down, taking with them high insurance rates. BE PATIENT while driving. Do not be in so much of a hurry to get somewhere that you drive recklessly - living is more important than being somewhere on time. Speeding is not worth the ticket. And usually when you speed to get past the cars going the speed limit, you end up having to stop at a red light while these other cars catch up to you. Be aware of your surroundings.
