What should I do if I’m involved in a car accident as a new driver?

If you’re in a car accident as a new driver, the first thing to do is stay calm. Check if anyone is hurt and call 911 if needed. Exchange information with the other driver, like names, phone numbers, and insurance details. Take pictures of the scene and any damage to the cars. If you have a smartphone or camera, document as much as you can. Contact your insurance company to report the accident. It’s important to stay patient and cooperate with authorities to handle the situation responsibly.
