Last weekend I had an accident in which another car made an incorrect turn and slammed into my car. As I was getting out of the car to get their details the other driver sped off. What can I do?

- You should report the accident to the police immediately.
- Unfortunately if you do not have any details of the car or driver it will be very hard to track the driver down.
- You can still lodge a claim with your own insurance company if you are insured.
