8. General Guidelines in Respect of Motor Vehicle Accidents
In the event that you are involved in an accident, and notwithstanding the specific reporting requirements specified in this policy, you should:-
8.1 Stop your motor vehicle, except in instances where you reasonably believe it to be unsafe to do so.
8.2 Aid those injured and summon all necessary assistance, i.e. doctor, ambulance, et. Should you suspect a back or neck injury do not move the injured person under any circumstances, other than to protect life. Do not, except on instructions of medical practitioner, take any intoxicating liquor or narcotic drug after an accident.
8.3 Record names and addresses of the driver and the owner and particularly of any other witnesses. Also record details of witnesses and whenever possible, make a sketch of the scene of the accident giving the approximate distance between the point of impact and fixed objects nearest to it, i.e. the curb, light poles, etc., and the width of the street.
8.4 On request, give your name and address, the name of your firm, your car number and, if requested, the name of your insurers.
8.5 Report the accident to the Police or Traffic Department within 24 hours. If a death or injury has resulted, do not move your vehicle without the permission of the Police or Traffic Department. If however, the vehicle is obstructing other traffic you are permitted to move it sufficiently to allow other traffic through but you must first mark the position clearly. If no death or injury has occurred, the vehicle may be moved without permission. It is always advisable to mark the position of the vehicle very clearly on the road whether or not injuries have resulted.
You Must Not:
8.6 Admit liability to anybody either verbally or in writing.
8.7 Give a statement to the police or any other person without prior reference to your Insurance Broker/Insurers or your Attorneys.
Remember:
8.8 Report all accidents immediately no matter how trivial.
8.9 Do not admit liability - leave it to insurers or legal advisors. Emotional or moral responsibility for accidents is not necessarily the same as legal responsibility and may not necessarily meet the standards of civil or criminal liability.
8.10 Record all details, including time of day, weather conditions, direction of motor vehicles or pedestrians or location of obstacles in the road.
We recommend you photocopy these pages from your manual and place them in the cubby-hole of your car.

9.2.1 the negligence of the employee (such as driving under the influence of alcohol or being found guilty of reckless and negligent driving), then the contract of employment of the employee may be terminated for reasons relating to the operational requirements of the company;
