What information should I gather at the accident scene?
You and the other driver should show each other your driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations. Then you should write down:
1. The other driver’s name, address, date of birth, telephone number, driver’s license number and expiration date, and insurance company.
2. The other car’s make, year, model, license plate number and expiration date, and vehicle identification number.
3. The names, addresses, telephone numbers and insurance companies of the other car’s legal and registered owners—if the driver does not own the car.
4. The names, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers and telephone numbers of any passengers in the other car.
5. The names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses to the accident. Ask them to stay to talk to the CHP or police. If they insist on leaving, ask them to tell you what they saw and write everything down.
6. Try to identify people at the accident scene, even if they will not give their names. For example, if someone who saw the accident drives off, take down his or her license plate number.
7. The name and badge number of the law officer who comes to the accident scene. Ask the officer where and when you can get a copy of any accident report.
8. A simple diagram of the accident. Draw the positions of both cars before, during and after the accident. If there are skid marks on the road, pace them off. Draw them on the diagram, noting the distance they cover.

車禍現場我應該要蒐集甚麼資訊?
你跟對方肇事車主需要出示駕照與牌照,接下來你需要記下:
1. 對方肇事車主的姓名、地址、出生年月日、電話、駕照號碼、駕照過期日以及保險公司。
2. 對方肇事車的出廠年分、車款以及行照號碼、行照過期日以及車輛識別編號。
3. 如果肇事車輛不是肇事車主所擁有，請記住肇事車輛的持有人的保險公司名稱、地址、以及電話。
4. 請記住肇事車輛中所有乘客的姓名、地址、出生年月日、電話、駕照號碼。
5. 請記住目擊者的姓名、地址、電話、請求他們留在現場協助CHP以及警察，如果他們執意離開現場，請求他們口述他們所目擊的景像並寫下。
6. 嘗試辨識在事發現場的人，即使他們不提供名字。舉例來說記下肇事逃逸車輛的車牌號碼。
7. 警察以及律師到達現場時，詢問警察何時可以拿到車禍事故鑑定副本。
8. 簡單的以圖示繪製車禍現場。繪製肇事前後雙方車輛位置，如果在路面有車輛滑行的記錄同樣繪製圖示。
