From 15 October, Belarusians can file a European accident report online, without calling the GAI

A web application for filing a European accident report (europrotocol) electronically has been launched in Belarus from 15 October. Participants in a road accident can fill in the notice without calling GAI (traffic police) officers.

Electronic filing of accident notices is available from a mobile device with any operating system.

Ihar Klepcha has also said this: according to him, from 15 October it will become easier to file europrotocols in the country.

Instead of a paper form, drivers fill in an electronic notice in the web app. It opens in a smartphone browser, whether iOS or Android, and does not need to be installed.

According to Telegram channel reports, the service is free and works from any phone. Filling it in takes about three minutes.

You need a smartphone with a camera, internet access and geolocation switched on.

The simplified procedure without GAI does not suit every accident. Only two cars may be involved, both with Belarusian plates. There must be no injured people and no damage to third-party property.

Both drivers must be sober, with a driving licence and insurance. There must be no disagreement about who is at fault.

The damage to each car must not exceed 150 base units. The notice must be filled in on the day of the accident.

If questions arise during filing, advice is available from the round-the-clock call centre on the short number 140.

The link to the service is posted on the website of the Belarusian Bureau for Transport Insurance.

The app checks the entered data automatically: details of the drivers, their licences and insurance. It warns of any errors it finds. It is not yet known how accurately the system detects input errors.

Drivers no longer need to carry paper forms, look for a pen and draw a diagram of the accident by hand.

From 15 October, electronic filing of accident notices has become more accessible in the country.

According to the description of the service, accident participants who file a europrotocol without GAI will be able to receive insurance payouts faster.
