What information do you take down if another vehicle hits you?

[Mackass]

Well no I've not been hit by another vehicle, but incase I do when I'm out about and driving, I was wondering what vital information I should write down before the person involve be's an idiot and drives off.

So far I can think of:
- Driver name
- Driver address
- Driver insurance company
- Car manufacturer
- Car model
- Car colour
- Car registration
- Date, time, road name
- Pictures of the incident

Anything else?

Cheers guys, just came up with another one that could be useful - the drivers home/work/mobile number just incase.

I personally never thought of ringing the police, unless it's a serious accident then ofcourse, but otherwise, I feel like I'll be wasting Police time - imagine everyone doing it if they have a little bump. Just out of curiosity, those who did call the Police down, how do you think you would have dealt with the situation without the Police?

Apart from him number plate, how do you know if any of the other bits of info the other driver give you are real.

I'd just make a note of the number plate and let the insurance company find out who owner of the other car is.

Very true.

Are there any laws out there which prevents this from happening?
