Take useful accident photos only when it is safe

Photographs can add context to a report. Do not stand in live traffic or create a new risk to capture them.

Capture context and detail

A useful set usually combines wider views with close-ups.

The road layout, signs, lanes and traffic controls
Vehicle positions and direction of travel
All sides of the involved vehicles
Close-ups of visible damage and relevant marks
Weather, lighting or road surface when relevant

Respect other people

Avoid unnecessary images of bystanders, medical treatment or unrelated personal information. Use photographs only for the accident record and legitimate follow-up.
