IF AN ACCIDENT
OCCOURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved in
the accident stop at least ten metres
away from the accident.
– If you are on a motorway, do not
obstructing the emergency lane with
your car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on the
hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of the
accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk be-
ing run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the prescribed distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– Call for rescue making the infor-
mation you give as accurate as you
can. On the motorway, use one of the
special column-mounted emergency
phones.
– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-
ticularly when the visibility is bad,
there is a high risk of other vehicles
running into those already immobile.
Get out of the vehicle immediately and
take refuge behind the guard rail.
– Remove the ignition keys of the ve-
hicles involved.
– If you can smell petrol or other
chemicals, do not smoke and make
sure all cigarettes are extinguished.

sand or earth to put out fires no mat-
ter how small they are. Never use wa-
ter.

alone. The obligation to provide as-
sistance exists even for those not di-
rectly involved in the accident.

jured person.
– Reassure the injured person that
help is on its way and will arrive soon.
Stay close by to calm him/her down
should they panic.

injured parties.

thing to drink.

cept in the following cases.
