Am I getting that right?
So, where can I get a stack of blue forms?  |
When I respond to accidents like that, I fill out two "orange forms" that has all the pertinent info from the other driver. I exchange them for each driver. Now, each driver has the other drivers info.
Then, I take the blue forms and fill out the basic stuff (location, time, date, etc) ONLY to help them out. Technically, they are responsible for the entire paper themselves. But, after doing that AND filling out the other drivers info FOR them, their paper is pretty much half done. And, since I do this so often, I'm pretty proficient at finding and filling in the info....saves both drivers a good amount of time. I do, however, let them fill in their own info and what they say happened int the accident.
It won't be a full blown accident report. We just save a copy of the key card that has their names on it in case the insurance needs to check.
Basically, you got it all correct.
Blue forms can be picked up at your local sub. I can give you a couple if you need next time I see you. remember, though....we will have NO record of the accident ever being reported if you don't call police.
