We have often focused on the need to avoid distractions while driving – and especially the dangers presented by your cellular phone while driving. Many accidents have been caused by drivers talking on cellular phones and texting sms messages!
Your cellular phone may however be a very important tool once you have been in an accident! Not only will it allow you to contact emergency response assistance, family or friends – it will also allow you to record important evidence.
Most mobile phones nowadays have cameras with which you are able to take photos of good quality. Never forget this feature and take a few photos of the accident scene after the accident. This would help you when completing the accident report form in remembering the flow of the traffic, positioning of vehicles and even with the identification of parties to the accident.
But which photos should I take?
The Arrive Alive website has approached well – known forensic accident reconstructionist, Stan Bezuidenhout and asked him to provide information on the topic “The perfect 36 Photographs of any accident”.
This has been made available on the Arrive Alive website under the title:
“The perfect 36 Photographs of any accident”
We have also made this available in a shortened format on the Arrive Alive mobile website. If your loved ones call you to inform you that they have just been in an accident – tell them to view the information available on Arrive Alive.mobi.
This will assist them to remain calm at the accident scene whilst knowing that help is at hand!!
