What to do during a Car Accident (To avoid being extorted)

Evidence First: Take photos of all angles, car positions, and damages. Save dashcam footage immediately.
Call Your Insurance: Let the insurance agent handle the negotiation. Avoid agreeing to pay or admitting fault before they arrive.
Don’t Pay Cash on the Spot: If the police claim it’s a “fine,” insist on going to the station and ask for an official government receipt.
