At an accident

What should you do if you have an accident?

  • Ensure everyone's safety and check for injuries. Police must be notified if someone is injured.
  • From an accident scene in Melbourne, damaged vehicles can only be towed away by a Licenced Operator authorised by the Victorian Government's Road Accident allocation Centre. Such trucks must display a TOW … number plate.
  • Call BTS or the Government's Allocation Centre number on 131 176 and a tow truck will be allocated to the accident scene.
  • Do not admit responsibility for the accident or get into any conflict with the other party
  • Exchange details:

    • Name, addresses, phone numbers
    • Vehicle types and registrations
    • Driver licence numbers
    • Insurance companies (if any)
    • Details of independent witnesses
 
What should you know

It's common to be in shock after you have been involved in an accident and your natural decision making process could be affected. Here are a few imporatant tips that could help you:

  • It is your right to have your vehicle delivered wherever you wish. DO NOT SIGN a tow docket unless your instructions are expressly shown
  • Do not allow yourself to be pressured or intimidated into sending your vehicle somewhere else
  • You have the right to choose who will repair your vehicle. There is a 'Cooling Off Period' of 48 hours to nominate the repairer of your choice
  • It is often wise to have your vehicle towed as there may be non-apparent damage to your vehicle. Driving from an accident scene in an unroadworthy vehicle is an offense. Furthermore this may void your insurance policy should you be involved in a further accident as a result
  • It is an offence to assign the task of towing a damaged vehicle other than to the Allocated Towing Operator
