DO: You are required by law to exchange information with the other driver at the scene of the accident. You must provide your Driver’s License #, auto insurance coverage, and information about how to contact you.
DON’T: Do not refuse to provide information. If actions of the other driver are threatening or make you uncomfortable with providing your personal phone number, you can offer the phone number for your place of employment.
