To help reduce danger to road users and manage crashes more efficiently, from October 2014, you may no longer have to wait for police at a crash site in NSW.
Police will still need to be called to the scene if:
- anyone is trapped or injured
- they are needed to direct traffic or deal with hazards
- any drivers appear to be affected by alcohol or drugs
- a bus or truck needs to be towed, or
- anyone involved has failed to exchange details.
Please see the attachment to know the correct procedures for appropriate outcomes in each crash scenario.
Remember, if you are involved in a crash, keep safe and move away from traffic.
