Your vehicle has been involved in a collision with another vehicle. Some damage has occurred. What must you do after you've stopped?
- A Report the incident to the police some time within the next 7 days
- B Show the other driver your registration and MOT certificates
- C Give your own and the vehicle owner's name and address to anyone having reasonable grounds for requiring them
- D Give your name and address to all witnesses
Why this is the answer
If you're involved in a collision that causes damage or injury to any other person, vehicle, animal or property, you must stop and exchange details with anyone having reasonable grounds for requiring them. If you do not give your details at the time, report the incident to the police as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any case within 24 hours.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Report the incident to the police some time within the next 7 days — Seven days is for producing documents, not for reporting a collision you did not exchange details at.
- B
- Show the other driver your registration and MOT certificates — Registration and MOT certificates are not what the other driver needs.
- D
- Give your name and address to all witnesses — Witnesses do not need your address; the other party does.
Where this comes from
- Driving: the essential skills — section 2, section 16
- The Highway Code — rule 286

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence.
