Still, when a relatively minor traffic accident occurs, a third of drivers do not fill out the agreed notification either in paper form or electronically in the application, but instead call the police, thus wasting public funds and busy policemen’s time. On the other hand, the data for the year 2023 show that if the agreed statement has been filled out, the decision on the payment of compensation is made in an average of 29 days, while in the case of the police it takes an average of 50 days.

How should such a situation be evaluated and what can be done about it, in the program we discuss with a representative of the Road Traffic Safety Directorate, a Safe Traffic Expert Oskar Irbitihead of the IT department of the Latvian Vehicle Insurance Office Early Dauksti. We are also in contact with the deputy head of the State Police Response Department Sabini Irbenieci-Cesli.
