What should you do in the event of a minor accident in a privately owned vehicle?

In the event of a minor accident involving a privately owned vehicle, reporting to the Military Police as soon as possible is crucial. This protocol ensures that an official report is filed, which is important for documentation and insurance purposes. Military Police are equipped to handle incidents involving military personnel and vehicles, and their involvement can help clarify any relevant laws or regulations that apply in the specific environment of USAG Italy.

Additionally, timely reporting can assist in the resolution of any disputes that might arise regarding the accident. While exchanging insurance information is important and necessary, it may not suffice in ensuring that all legal obligations are met under military protocols. Calling emergency services or waiting for a witness, while potentially helpful in some contexts, does not replace the need to notify the Military Police, who are the authority tasked with managing such incidents for military personnel.
