a) Turn off engine
b) Get out of car
c) Get off road
If you remember b) and c) but forget a), there may be an increased chance that the car will catch fire.

Cars don't catch fire nearly as often as you'd think from TV, but it does occasionally happen. This will nicely complete the totalizing of a totaled car.
If the car does catch fire, your favorite bag in the backseat will have completely disappeared by the time you see the car again in a non-burning state, since it turns out canvas does not have a high resistance to flames hot enough to fuse keys with steering columns.
If the EMTs cut your shirt off in the ambulance, the ER nurses will let you wear a hospital gown home. Those things are super stylish.
Broken collarbones don't actually hurt that much unless you move.
Sadly, at some point you sort of have to move.

It pretty much sucks when someone veers into your lane and hits you head-on.
Seat belts and air bags are good.
Car accidents are dreadful, but we got out and walked away, so it could have been way more dreadful. Let's party! Carefully, and without moving the arm under the broken collarbone.

Oh my! I'm so glad you're ok!
Thanks! It was pretty freaky.
Ok, two things:
1. Be safe
2. Party like its 2010
Sorry to hear about your accident..I can really relate to this!!! (Think I already told you I have been hit by cars 4 times since I was 7). Best advice is not to let the other guys insurance trick you into signing away your rights as they will try..trust me. If you toss and turn when sleeping then for first week or so this will be a problem as the pain will wake you up. But after about a week, the pain "trains" your body to stop tossing and turning and you will sleep much better.
