Been in an Accident Around Cheadle or Marple? Read This First

The first 30 minutes

1. Stop and check for injury

Legally you must stop. Any injury — call 999.

2. Move if safe

Blocking traffic on the A555, A34 or A6? Move to the verge if safe. Not driveable? Hazards on, get out on the pavement side.

3. Get details

Other driver's name, address, phone, insurer and registration. Take photos of their driving licence if they will let you.

4. Photograph everything

Vehicle positions, damage, road markings, road surface, weather. Take them before anything is moved.

5. Report to police within 24 hours

Only required if there is injury or the vehicle is left obstructing the road. Failure is a driving offence.
