If you are unlucky enough to be involved in any sort of traffic accident while driving on a road in Cyprus, the police should always be called.
When you call the
emergency number, 112 or 199, it is directed to the Police in the first instance.
Police will call an ambulance or the fire service to the scene if required.
Do not move your car before Police arrive.
If you do move your vehicle, you could be deemed to be at fault, even though this may not be the case.
Always carry with you:
In a rented car - driving licence - rental documents
In a locally registered car - driving licence - insurance - display your MOT (if required)
Police Officers in Cyprus invariably speak some English and many have a good knowledge of the language.
The accident and reporting procedures are broadly similar to the UK.
Police procedures regarding accidents are currently under review.
If the law is changed it will mean that police will only attend accidents that involve injury, driving offences or special situations where, for example, the road is blocked.
The same situation as applies currently in the UK.
