Assistance for Singapore Drivers Who Have an Accident with a Malaysian Government Vehicle MyMechanic

First priorities at the scene

• Safety and visibility: Move to a safe shoulder if instructed and possible; hazards on, triangle placed only if it is safe to do so.
• Stay respectful and calm: Follow instructions from officers on scene; do not argue or speculate on fault.
• Preserve evidence: Photograph damage, plates, the road layout, and visible identifiers on the other vehicle; note time, location markers, and witness contacts.

What to document

• Vehicle identifiers: Number plates, service markings on the government vehicle, and any badge or unit info visible.
• Scene context: Lane direction, junction signs, traffic lights, and weather conditions; take wide and close shots.
• Driver and passengers: Names and contact details where appropriately exchanged and permitted; keep notes factual and time‑stamped.
