1. Write a Long Individual Statement
There are two forms you need to fill when you’ve been in an accident. You should have a Singapore Accident Statement in your car, which contains an Accident Statement and an Individual Statement. That’s right, this is Singapore, where we care more about your statement than the loose flaps of skin hanging off your face.
Accident Statement -
This is the yellow-blue (and soon to be splotched with red) form that needs to be signed by both drivers. This isn’t an admission of liability, it’s just used to establish the damage. Nothing to worry about.
Individual Statement -
This is the one you need to be careful with. It’s the white form, which requires your signature only. Before you delve into a 30 chapter novel complete with movie rights, know that this where most motorists slip up.
