New online service could help drivers report accidents

 

Government launches consultation on proposals to allow drivers to report accidents online.

 

Drivers could soon be able to report accidents online, making it quicker and easier, under new proposals by the Department for Transport.

 

Many police forces already allow victims to report crimes online and this could be extended to crashes in a bid to modernise the service, Roads Minister Jesse Norman will tell the National Roads Policing Conference today (30 January 2018).

 

The move would lessen the burden on motorists who have to report a crash in person within 24 hours, cut the need for people to take time off work and also free up police resources. People will still be able to report crashes at police stations.

That quote is a little misleading.

 

In the vast majority of collisions, there is no requirement to report the incident to the police. As long as you have exchanged details with the other driver(s), the police aren't involved.

 

So how is this going to save police time?

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.
