Honda Owner’s Accident Assistant

No one ever plans to be in a car accident — but the truth is, accidents can happen to anyone in the blink of an eye. Even worse? Many drivers become flustered and overwhelmed in the face of an emergency, and they forget to address important safety and insurance matters.

Fortunately, Honda’s got you covered.

Head over to collision.honda.com to brush up on some basic safety tips. The Honda Owner’s Accident Assistant walks you through the steps you should take at the scene of an accident, as well as upon your return home.

1. Get safe. Turn on your hazard lights, move your car to a safe location and carefully exit your vehicle.
2. Get help. Call 911 and render first aid if necessary.
