Traffic Accident Handling Procedures
Definition of "Traffic Accident":
A "traffic accident" refers to incidents caused by vehicles or motorized machinery on the road that result in injuries, fatalities, or property damage (Article 2, Regulations Governing Road Traffic Accidents).
Non-Injury Traffic Accidents:
For accidents causing only minor vehicle damage with no injuries, if the vehicle is still drivable, you should:
Mark the vehicle's four corners (or tires) with paint, chalk, or another sharp object, or mark the location where a motorcycle fell.
Quickly move the vehicle to the roadside to avoid obstructing traffic and to prevent penalties.
If there are only property losses or minor injuries, and the parties involved settle on-site, there is no need to report to the police (Article 8, Regulations Governing Road Traffic Accidents). A written settlement is recommended to prevent future disputes.
Injury or Fatality Traffic Accidents:
Provide immediate first aid to the injured and ensure prompt medical attention.
Preserve the scene temporarily for police evidence collection and investigation. Place warning signs at appropriate positions to prevent secondary accidents.
Report to the police immediately and do not leave the scene to avoid accusations of hit-and-run.
Hit-and-Run Incidents:
Report to the police immediately and preserve the scene.
Record as much information as possible, such as the vehicle’s license plate, type, color, distinguishing features, and the direction of escape. Look for witnesses to provide additional information about the incident.
Preserve any evidence left behind, such as glass shards, paint chips, debris, tire marks, brake marks, or bloodstains, to aid police investigations.
Reporting Accidents:
Report traffic accidents immediately by dialing 110 or contacting the local police department (traffic squad, precinct, accident investigation unit, or station).
Provide details such as the exact location, time, vehicle type, license plate number, the presence of injuries, and your name and address.
Wait at the scene until the police arrive. Self-reporting by the involved party can lead to reduced penalties if meeting the criteria for voluntary surrender under criminal law.
The accident handling process: Party A, Party B, the perpetrator, police on-site handling, mediation committee, traffic adjudication, individuals, police, judicial units, district mediation committees, review committees, reporting, applying, transferring, applying, entrusting.
