How do you report an accident on the Saaed app?

Choose the accident reporting service, enter a phone number so the app finds your location, pick the accident type, upload the vehicle registration and driving licence, photograph the damage, add the other vehicles, check the details and submit. You get a reference number.⁹

Abu Dhabi Police tell drivers to move both cars off the road to the nearest safe spot after a minor accident, whether at fault or not.² Moving does not affect who is found at fault.⁹

Keep the reference number. You need it to pay, to get a copy and to claim.
