Just Under Half Of All Van Drivers Fail To Exchange Correct Insurance Details At Accident Scene
As many as 45% of van drivers don’t exchange the required personal information following a collision with another vehicle, according to Swinton Commercial.
A new study has found that just under half of all van drivers don’t exchange personal insurance information with other drivers.
The stressful nature of any crash means that van drivers often forget or overlook exchanging key information such as full name, address, telephone number and their insurance details.
The study also found that around 15% of drivers failed to correctly take down the licence plate of another vehicle.
The failure to note the correct personal details can slow down the process of making a claim significantly. It can also invalidate the claim if the other driver can’t be tracked down because of the lack of personal information gathered at the scene of the incident.
The report by Swinton Commercial recommends that in the event of any crash you should ensure the safety of all parties, write down the full name, address and telephone number of the driver. The report also recommends writing down the licence plate, taking down insurance policy number, get the details of any witnesses along with notifying the policy and your own insurance company.
