When a traffic accident results in material damage to the vehicles involved, the vehicle owners must fill out a damage report form. The purpose of filling out the report is for the parties involved to record how the accident occurred in their own words.
Filling out an accident report is very important for insurance purposes. Previously, traffic police officers filled out accident reports. However, according to regulations effective from April 1, 2008, drivers involved in an accident can leave the scene without waiting for the police by photographing the accident and filling out and signing the accident report.
