Trump Proposes Repeal of 10 Regs for Each New Reg
President Trump proposed that, for every new regulation issued by a federal agency, the agency must identify “10 existing regulations” that would be repealed.
In this three-part series you will learn what to do at the scene of an accident – and how to save you or your company money on insurance claims at the same time. Even better, you will know you have done the right thing, for yourself and others involved.
Need to know all three steps right now? Here they are:
Step 1: Safety first.
An accident, a crash, is an unexpected event. You and others involved will be upset, frantic and nervous. Calm down. Know that you have an important job to do – preventing a mishap from becoming something potentially catastrophic. Whether the accident took place on the highway, at roadside or on private property, there will be other vehicles and other drivers, and they will not be anticipating the crash and the disabled vehicles.
Set your brakes. Turn off your engine. Turn on hazard flashers, press the button on your camera to preserve video of the event, set out warning flares or triangles, visually inspect equipment and look for leaks. Above all, watch out for oncoming traffic. Solicit the help of others to slow traffic… but be sure you and the others are in a safe place. Inattentive drivers may make sudden, last-second maneuvers.
Ready to breathe? Good. Note the accident time and location in writing… someone will ask you about that later; do it now while everything is fresh.
Visually check on the parties in the other vehicle to see if they are injured. Ask them if they are ok. If they do not answer, assume that they are not ok. Render reasonable and prudent assistance to any injured parties.
Should you move your vehicle? No - unless there is a safety reason or directed to do so by a law officer. On the other hand, have your fire extinguisher ready for any flames. Safety first is protecting people and property from further harm… not trying to immediately set everything back to normal.
That goes for injured parties, too. Do not move someone who may be injured unless absolutely necessary to protect them from further harm. Leave that to the emergency medical professionals… they are on the way, because in Step 2 you will have called 911.
