Why should you always carry the European accident report form with you on your journey?

You selected answers 1 and 2, which are correct. Carrying the European accident report form is helpful because it provides a standardized way to record details of an accident, even when language barriers exist, making it easier to communicate and document what happened with people from other countries. Additionally, it allows all involved parties to independently and consistently write down information about the accident for insurance and legal purposes. However, the form does not settle questions of liability at the scene; that determination is made later by insurers or authorities. For future questions, remember: the form helps with documentation and communication, but does not decide fault on the spot.
