I refer to the article ‘Taking a crash course’ (Insurance & Finance supplement, The Sunday Times of Malta, September 14).

Kindly note that the closing line, which states that one needs to wait for the police or wardens before moving a vehicle, is incorrect and Transport Malta insists that nobody should ever leave a vehicle in a dangerous location. Furthermore, Transport Malta wishes to remind vehicle owners about the procedure that should be followed in front to rear collisions:

There is no need to call the wardens or the police, unless someone has been injured. Before removing the vehicles, photos may be taken of the accident site, as well as photos of any damage sustained to the vehicles after they have been removed (if any of the motorists involved in the accident is in possession of a photographic device).

Remove the vehicles involved to the side of the road in such a way that they do not obstruct traffic flow. Fill in the ‘Front-to-Rear Collision Form’, following the printed instructions; this should be kept in your vehicle at all times.

The ‘Front-to-Rear Collision Forms’ are available free of charge from police stations, insurance offices and Transport Malta offices in Sa Maison and Floriana.

Vehicle owners are encouraged to keep multiple copies of this form in their vehicle so as to be able to assist others involved in such minor accidents.
