declaração amigável

Declaração Amigável de Acidente Automóvel (DAAA) — the "friendly declaration" of a road accident, also known as the European accident statement
A form that two drivers fill in and sign at the scene of an ordinary accident with no injuries: who was involved, in which vehicles, where and how it happened, and a diagram of the collision. Each driver keeps their own copy and gives it to their insurer. It can also be filled in on a phone, in the e-SEGURNET app from the insurers' association; only one of the drivers needs to have the app.
Where you come across it. Any accident with no injuries, a car scraped in a car park, a rear-end shunt in a traffic jam.
Signing the form does not mean admitting fault: it records the circumstances. If you are not at fault, filling in the declaration does not affect the price of your policy. If you cannot agree, each driver fills in their own form and gives it to the other driver's insurer, and photos become twice as important.
