Is this the right procedure to do if I get into an accident?

I've been looking around to see what to do if I get into an accident and this is what I've seen so far: move the car to the side of the road if damage is minor, call the police and let them decide if they need to come, exchange information with the driver, and document the scene. One other thing I've heard mentioned is do not admit any sort of fault even saying sorry.

I also have four questions.

  1. What exactly should I document? Should I just take a video of the entire scene or should I do more documentation?

  2. What do I do if the driver getting out of their vehicle is very angry? I don't know how to deal with angry drivers after a car crash.

  3. When exchanging information how much info from the other driver do I need? Do I just need their insurance card or more than that?

  4. Is there anything I haven't mentioned/asked about that is important to know about the car crash procedure?
