Here are some common considerations: 1. **Extent of property damage**: - **Large property damage**: If the accident causes obvious damage to the vehicle or other property, even if no one is injured, it is usually necessary to call the police and record the accident scene. - **Minor property damage**: Some areas allow the parties to negotiate and resolve the matter on their own, and there is no need to call the police after exchanging insurance information. However, the specific amount standards vary from place to place, so it is recommended to check local regulations. 2. **Parties involved**: - If the party responsible for the accident is unclear, or the other party does not cooperate in exchanging information, calling the police can help clarify the responsibility and protect your own rights and interests. 3. **Traffic regulations**: - In many countries and regions, the law requires calling the police in certain types of accidents, such as those involving unlicensed driving, drunk driving, or damage to public property. 4. **Insurance claims**: - Calling the police record is usually an important basis for insurance claims.

It is recommended to check the traffic regulations in your area or consult legal professionals. - **Insurance company consultation**: Consult your insurance company, they can provide specific operational guidelines and suggestions. - **Safety first**: Whether or not to call the police, ensure the safety of all parties and record relevant information at the accident scene as much as possible (such as photos, information of both parties, etc.).
