It sucks to be in an accident, but you can't turn back time and undo it. If it isn't anything serious, don't overreact. Here is a list of things to do if you ever happen to meet in one. Keep calm and remember these things:

1. Don't panic

Stay calm. Take deep breaths and check if you are okay first. You can't do anything if you are in a panic.

2. Rationalize

An accident can start a lot of arguments. Accept fault if it is truly yours, else think of a solution to move on. Once you understand what has happened, you'll have a clearer process thought.

3. Be kind

Instead of shouting expletives and going on a rage, be mindful that your actions or words have consequences. Check to see if the other party is alright as well.

4. If you have to blow off steam, check this video out:

Feel like you need to punch and kick something / someone? Check this video out. It is the perfect way to blow off steam if you really have to.

5. Remember how people can get hurt

The heat of the moment doesn't warrant anyone hurting another. It is an accident after all. It wasn't intentional.

6. Even you can get hurt

If you respond with rage, you might be met with some in return. Don't antagonize people. You might get hurt.

7. Or worse, you end up an Internet meme

Everyone has a smartphone in hand these days and if you are in a heated situation, someone somewhere might be recording. Be mindful of this too.

8. Negotiate a settlement, or just report it.

Negotiate how you would like to settle, if no one is hurt. If you can't reach an agreement, report the incident to the authorities. It doesn't solve anything but it does help you move on.

9. Be thankful, because that could have been worse. 

Something worse could have happened to you. Be thankful you're not in that situation.

10. Move on with your life.

The whole ordeal is over. Don't dwell on it. Just be more careful the next time.
