Road Traffic Accidents*

The most frequent type of accident is a road traffic accident (RTA). While some road traffic accidents have contributing road or environmental factors, the majority are due to human error. These often arise from a collision of two motor vehicles but can also involve pedestrians and cyclists. If you are involved in a road traffic accident stop at the scene and exchange insurance details and if necessary call the police or emergency services. If the offending party does not stop the accident could be classified as a hit and run, which is a criminal offence.
