An iPhone app which records all the information drivers must collect if they have an accident has been unveiled by AXA.
Auto insurance customers have received a boost after AXA confirmed that it has launched a new iPhone app to provide support in the event of a car accident.
The insurer conducted research which found that a worryingly high 66 per cent of drivers are unsure about what action to take if they are involved in a collision with another vehicle.
According to the study, 27 per cent would not attempt to swap names, addresses and phone numbers with the other party, or to make a note of their registration plate.
Although AXA found that 84 per cent would look to exchange auto insurance details, this appears to be rendered meaningless by the discovery that just 15 per cent carry their policies in their cars.
As a result, the company decided to unveil the iPhone app, which prompts the user to record all the information connected to an incident, plus offering the ability to take photos.
“Having an accident, however minor, can be traumatic and it is clear that many drivers really don’t know what they should do if they are in this situation,” commented Simon Clayden, head of IT innovation at AXA Insurance.
“And even those who do can forget vital information at such a stressful time. Our app allows you to permanently store the information you need and will take you through a step-by-step process at the scene of the accident.”
Mr Clayden added that the app is free for customers of AXA and all other auto insurance firms.
