Roadside Assistance for Car Accidents in Malaysia – What to Do
If there’s one thing every driver dreads, it’s getting into an
accident — especially in a country that’s not your own.
Is everyone okay?
What just happened?
How bad is the damage?
Who do I call first?
1. Check Safety Before Anything Else
Switch on your hazard lights immediately.
If possible, pull over to a safe spot away from traffic.
Check yourself and passengers for injuries.
In case of injury, call **999** for police or medical help.
2. Keep Calm, Even if Tempers Flare
Accidents can spark emotions — frustration, anger, fear. Take a
deep breath before stepping out. Your goal is to handle things
safely, not escalate the situation.
3. Gather Evidence Like a Pro
The clearer your records, the easier it will be to file
insurance claims later.
Photos of both vehicles (close-ups and wide shots)
Accident location and surroundings
Skid marks, damaged road signs, or anything unusual
Other driver’s license plate and ID
Witness contact details (if available)
4. Call MyMechanic – Your Roadside Lifeline

“just get home.” MyMechanic offers nationwide

5. File the Police Report if Needed

damage within 24 hours. MyMechanic can advise on this process.
6. Inform Your Insurance Company
Once safe, contact your insurer and provide them with all photos
and details. MyMechanic helps make sure you have the right info
to speed up claims.
