As above.

I have had so many conflicting views, talking to people.

Do you have to call the police, can you move the car, do you have to stay where you are til police authorize car removal, do you just swap details (as in the UK) or what?

The normal practice here is for the parties to agree, first of all, if the Police are to be called. In that event the vehicles should not be moved until the Police arrive and take the decision. They will supervise the exchange of Insurance particulars whilst checking all the parties paperwork.
