What information should you exchange after a minor traffic crash?

• A. Names, addresses, insurance information, vehicle details, and location; do not admit fault at the scene.
• B. Location of the crash and weather conditions.
• C. Names, addresses, and phone numbers only.
• D. Insurance information only.

Answer: (A)

After a minor traffic crash, exchanging complete identifying and vehicle information at the scene helps ensure you can file an accurate claim and stay protected. You should share your name and address, the other driver’s name and address, both parties’ insurance details, and vehicle information such as make, model, color, and license plate, plus the exact location of the crash. It’s also important not to admit fault at the scene; statements about who caused the crash can complicate liability and insurance decisions. If there are injuries or significant property damage, involve the authorities so the scene is properly documented. The other choices miss essential pieces like who was involved, how to contact them, and the specifics needed for a claim. They don’t provide the full set of information needed to handle the incident properly.
