But does she know how to react if you hear a siren while driving, or what do do in case of a car or household accident? Knowing what side of the china the flatware goes on may be useful, But learning your emergency "Etiquette" can truly help you get through potentially dangerous situations, says the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Along with nails on the blackboard and the dentist's drill, the sountof metal -on -metal is one of the most unpleasant you'll ever hear. The first thing to do after a car collision is to check whether you, your passengers, or the other people involved are injured. If so, call the police. If you are out of your cellular phone home range, dialling 0 for the operator might be necessary. If there's any sign of impaired driving, even if no one is hurt and the cars aren't damaged, you must also call the police. If the car is drivable and you can safely move it, get it to the roadside. It's a very common myth that for even minor collisions, it's the "right thing to do" to leave the cars exactly as they ended up. But unless there's a dispute, or more than minor damage, it's best to get out of the way. Leaving the cars in the road can cause a traffic jam, and puts you out of the path of oncoming cars. If you can't drive, stay in the car until help arrives or get to the roadside, welt clear of the traffic. Put on the hazard lights so other vehicles see you're stopped. Jot down key information on the other vehicle involved: owner, driver's Mime, address, and number; driver's Iicence;licence plate; car make and model; and the insurance company and policy number. Memories get fuzzy, so while you have a pen out sketch the accident scene -- the streets and lanes, the direction of the vehices, traffic signs, and any obstacles. Note other relevant details, like the estimated speeds, the weather and road conditions, and the damage to the vehicles. And take down the name, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses. If the police don't come to the scene, ygu must file an accident report within 48 hours. Get a copy of the report or record the report number. Most collisions aren't serious enough to require emergency personnel. But as a driver, you'll invariably encounter a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or other emergency vehicles on the road. When you see the flashing lights and hear the sirens, slow down, pull over to the right, and stop. Check your mirrors before making your move. If you can't get into the right lane, move over as far as you safely can. Never speed in front of an approaching emergency vehicle; you'll only Klock its path up ahead. If you're at a red light with an emergency vehicle behind you, don't drive through unless ordered to; you can't assume the traffic crossing the green Tight will stop while you go. Wait for your green, then move to the right. Before rejoining the flow of traffic, again check your mirrors and blind spots. Even if emergency vehicles are close hy, it's never a good time for ati accident. Are your RRSP investments a little too quiet? If you don't think you're making the most of your money, you probably aren't. Investors will tailor a financial plan that meets your financial goals. CALL: A.E.
