[QUOTE=OrangeBlossomBaby;2414362]This is like - basic stuff that anyone who has a car should do.
You call 911. You do NOT talk to the driver of the other vehicle other than to tell them to wait for the police.
The police don't answer 911, the emergency services dispatcher does. You tell them there was a car accident at [insert address], with damage to at least one vehicle, and no one appears to be injured. You let them ask questions, answer them simply and truthfully, without adding in information that has nothing to do with the need for police or the situation.
The police will come, because it was sent by 911 services. They might be there within a half hour since there are no known injuries.
This all falls down when the police refuse to come because they said it was a gated community. Despite being given the address and both 911 and the officer (who called on his cell) being told it was The Villages. I guess part of my post was to see if anyone else had similar experience in a non injury, non violent interaction with police for accident in the bubble. Also to see if anyone knew of the florida process.
