In Turkey, if you are involved in a traffic accident resulting only in property damage with no bodily injuries, drivers can legally resolve the incident by filling out an Agreed Traffic Accident Report (Kaza Tespit Tutanağı) without waiting for traffic police.

4 Essential Steps at the Accident Scene

  1. Ensure Safety: Turn on hazard lights and position reflective triangles (30m in cities, 150m on highways).
  2. Take Clear Photographs: Capture 4 to 5 pictures showing license plates, lane markings, and overall vehicle positions before moving cars.
  3. Exchange Documents: Photograph driver licenses, vehicle registration (Ruhsat), and valid Traffic Insurance policies.
  4. Draw the Sketch & Sign: Illustrate road trajectory and write objective statements signed by both drivers.
