When you are required to call the police out to an accident scene?
It depends, whether it is a major accident or if it's just minor. Also, it depends on if there's someone nearby. Generally, if there's a major accident to be seen and no one is around, then it's always safe the call the police immediately and to provide assistance if needed.If you spot a minor accident, yet you're not involved in it, then there's not need to inform the police or any other emergency services.If you have been involved in a minor accident, even if no one has been injured, you are required to inform the police via emergency number. In this case, it is because a police report is required in order to help the insurance to determine where the problem started and/or whose fault it was.
