Even in an accident with only property damage, you must give your personal details to the victim, and if only vehicles were clearly damaged and you took measures to prevent danger and keep traffic moving, there is no duty to report to the police (Article 54 of the Road Traffic Act). Also consider whether you are obliged to leave the vehicles where they collided.
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
Under Article 54(1)2 of the Road Traffic Act, even when only property is damaged you must give the victim your personal details such as name, phone number and address. Under the proviso of paragraph 2 of the same article, there is no duty to report to the police if only vehicles were clearly damaged and steps were taken to prevent danger and keep traffic flowing. There is no duty to leave the cars where they collided; moving them to a safe place to prevent secondary accidents and congestion is preferable.
