Whether it is your own minibus or a hire vehicle it is useful to know what to do in the event of an accident. A claim on your minibus insurance is the usual outcome after an accident. This article outlines the information that needs to be gathered at the scene to prevent any dispute.

As a minibus driver the first consideration after an accident is to make the scene as safe as possible.

1. Switch your minibus hazard lights on. Use a warning triangle if available. Take great care when placing the triangle at least 50 metres away from the vehicle. Warning triangles should never be used on the motorway.

Being a responsible driver does not just mean yield to on
coming traffic and stop on red, it also means that you should keep your car in
peak condition. A car that is serviced on a regular basis is less likely to
have any major mechanical failings and will last much longer than cars that are
neglected. While this fact seems like common sense, many drivers are content to
just let their cars shake and rattle until they simply stop rolling. Any major
mechanical attention for your car should be left to the professionals, but
there are a few things that you can accomplish in your own drive way like
changing the oil or knowing how to change a tire.
