2. Call the police immediately

The correct answer is: Move your vehicle out of traffic, if possible

When you are involved in a minor collision with no injuries, the first action you should take is to move your vehicle out of traffic, if it is safe to do so. This action helps to prevent further accidents and ensures the safety of everyone involved. Staying in the roadway can create additional hazards for you, other drivers, and passengers, as well as risk further damage to your vehicle and possibly others. By moving your vehicle, you can help restore the normal flow of traffic, thus minimizing disruptions and potential risks to other motorists. This practice is not only about safety but also demonstrates responsible driving and consideration for others on the road. After securing safety by moving vehicles, you can then proceed to exchange insurance information and contact law enforcement if necessary.
