Should I drive my car, motorcycle or scooter after an accident?
You should only drive your car, motorcycle or scooter if it's in a condition that's safe for you and any passengers. Don't drive your vehicle if:
- The lights or brakes aren't working
- It's difficult to get in or out
- The bodywork is damaged and could cause injury or interfere with driving
- There are leaking fluids or signs of engine damage.
If your vehicle isn't safe to drive (after an incident we cover) and your policy covers towing, call us 24/7 on 132 132 and we'll arrange a tow for you.
To see what's covered by your policy, read the Policy Disclosure Statement (PDS) on our policy booklets page.
