Here is a guide to use Metrash2 to register minor accidents

It has only been a day since the general Directorate of Traffic at the Ministry of Interior announced that people can avoid visiting the traffic investigation department to report minor accidents and instead use their smartphones to get things done.

The ministry has issued a step-by-step guide for people who wish to avail of the Metrash 2 services.

* Take not more than four photos of each vehicle with some of them showing number plates.

* Move the vehicles from the accident site and park away from the road.

* Ensure that location service of your mobile is enabled.

* Sign in to Metrash2 and select 'Traffic Services' and open 'Accident Report' option.

* Enter details of both vehicles (Vehicle number, QID number and mobile number.)

* Attach photos of both vehicles and click on your agreement on validity of the data.

* Submit the report for traffic investigation

* A notification SMS (text message) will be sent to you asking to wait for another message to complete the procedures

* After reviewing the accident photos by traffic investigators, text messages will be sent to both parties with instruction to go to insurance company or approval for vehicle repair.

It’s a great initiative and a huge time saver, what say?
