What to do if you witness an accident while driving

Safety first! If you're driving and an accident takes place in front of you, make sure you pull over to a safe area. Try to be far enough away from the accident to leave room for emergency vehicles, and to ensure that you're not in any danger. Next, put on your hazard lights. Only exit your car if it's safe. If you're on a busy highway, for example, it's probably best if you remain in your vehicle. And, if the cars involved are smoking, definitely keep your distance.
