haven't happen on me yet but i think its between u & tat driver... u may wanna quote a price which is usually higher to compensate for our inconvience & maybe injuries if he accepts... or he may sign on the form indicating tat he's willing to pay for wateva ur repair cost ll be... no one ll know the price till a bike repair shop has quoted u...

 

even though so, no one would pay u on the spot as who would hav so much money in the wallet??

[What to do immediately after

 

Police Report: You should lodge a written police report as soon as possible at any police station or neighbourhood police post. If you are hospitalised as a result of the accident, make your report as soon as you are discharged from hospital.

You have to give all the information mentioned in the above paragraph What to do at the accident site.

 

Hi! Just sharing my knowledge.

 

The mentioned paragraph is only applicable if the accident is a major accident, or accident involving foreign vehicles, gahment vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, or accidents causing damage to gahment properties.

 

Major accident means that that somebody is injured and requires an ambulance to convey the injured to hospital, or the injured party seek medical attention later and aquired 3 or more days of MC resulting from injuries sustained from the accident.

 

Minor accident, meaning no injuries between involved parties, does not require a police Road Traffic Accident report. Involved parties are to report to respective insurance companies for claims.

take photographs of all damage caused by the accident. You must keep the negatives of these photographs.

 

 

 

Does this mean that ppl can't use digital camara?

Judiciary officers are mindful of the possibility of tempting with the photos produced from digital camera. Of course, photos developed from 35mm film may be subjected to tempting but it is very difficult to do so.

 

Also the maker of the photos has to come to court to testify the authencity of the photo.

I think you mean tampering. For this day and age, digital photos are quite acceptable. Even idac is using digital cameras to record damage to vehicles

if the ambulance came and sent you to the hospital, there will be police, station in the hospital to take your report.

 

if you did not damage any things or others and not making any claim from your insurance then you don't need to make any report.

the bike still have to send back to IDAC and make a report there. the pillion's family can claim from the rider's insurance.

Just received a call from a SBF member that he was in an accident and the driver is willing to pay him some $$ to settle the case but he did not bring along the private settlement form to help him.

 

For those of you who have the Motorist Handy Kit, PLEASE put it in your bike.... you never know when you need it.

 

What is in the Handy Kit;

1. Certificate of Insurance (your own)

2. Form for Private settlement

3. Forms for taking down Accident Details

4. Location of IDAC Centres

[2_wheeler]

For those who do not have a copy of the private settlement form you may print this and keep in your bike.

[2_wheeler]

keep this also for those (the other party) who cannot read english.

[2_wheeler]

Don't know what infomation you need from the other party when you wanna claim from them? with this form all you have to do is fill in the blank.
