‘No need for Police @ scene of minor accidents’ – CoP David Morris
Morris was speaking as a guest last Wednesday night September 3, 2014 of the Straight Talk radio talk show hosted by Donald E. De Castro on ZBVI 780 AM.
He said that in cases of such accidents, drivers merely need to exchange names and addresses and each other’s insurance details and the insurance companies will deal with the matter without the Police having to become involved.
“One of the things we are looking at is the amount of time people ring up the Police when there is an accident. Sometimes we go to accidents which we really don’t need to be there for. If people just exchange their names and addresses and their insurance details, they can just report it to their insurance companies where they have had a bumper to bumper accident and let them carry on. You don’t need the Police,” said Morris.
“I get a lot of complaints about congestion when you have those accidents, people stop in the middle of the road and traffic backs up, so we are starting to look at how we report accidents and what accidents we do report,” he said.
Host De Castro said that while he found it puzzling that people call the Police to every accident scene however minor, he understands that sometimes the insurance companies are reluctant to take action unless there is an accompanying Police report on the accident.
