Which action should you take immediately after a crash in which property is damaged?

• A. Drive away quietly
• B. Stop, Leave information, Notify police, and Complete crash reports
• C. Exchange only names and addresses
• D. Do nothing until morning

Answer: (B)

After a crash that damages property, you should stop at the scene, exchange names and addresses and vehicle information with the other party, notify the police if required, and file a crash report. This sequence protects safety, ensures accountability, and creates an official record for insurance and any potential legal inquiries. Leaving the scene, driving away, or waiting until morning can be illegal and increases liability because it withholds information and help from those involved and from authorities. Exchanging only names and addresses leaves out other important details and doesn’t address the requirement to involve authorities or document the incident.
