Although you have been a responsible rider; never was involved in any accident, the inevitable has happened to you; don't panic! Get over the shock soon, once done with that take time to check for any injuries on your body and if you have pillion riding with you, on them too.

Bring yourself off the traffic and the road. If you can go to your bike, turn the engine off and if the petrol trickles out, take help of anyone to plug the fuel tank tightly. Call your good friend or still better a workshop mechanic to help tow your bike.

If the crash involved another vehicle on the road, never get into unwanted argument obstructing the ongoing traffic. Instead do other important things; exchange contact information as well as insurance information. Contact the police and fill in details of accident report.

Learn from the nasty experience too that involved you in a crash. Time to move on. Get back on to your bike once you become fit and fighting (driving).

Safe riding!
