After a minor collision in a car park in Tilburg, you and the other driver fully agree on what happened: sheet-metal damage only, no injuries, and the police are not coming. What do you do with the European accident report form?
- ✓ We fill it in together, even though we agree on what happened
- We skip it, because we agree on what happened
- We skip it, because the police did not come
Correct answer: We fill it in together, even though we agree on what happened
Explanation
False — You link the form to the police. With minor accidents the police often do not come; you fill in the accident report form together with the other party, whether the police come or not
