Subject:One more thought on accidents

Hey all

Lots of good and bad points brought up about having an accident or being the
victim of such, since we are all perfect drivers.

Once the accident has occurred, I have no quarrel with documenting it, make
sure you are coving your side of the story. One important thing!! Make sure
you at very least move yourself, your vehicle, the other parties, whatever
just enough so that you don't cause another accident. Or carry flares or
those reflective triangles the truckers use. Get them up and alert other
motorist to slow down and not hurt/maim/kill anyone else. No sense in
smashing both side of your favorite vehicle, getting yourself or the other
person killed by oncoming traffic, or whatever. Think about it. The accident
is a done deal. Do something to stop more trauma and damage from occurring.
Then go after the documentation.
