BDifficulty 1/5

An uninvolved driver passes an accident where officers are already present and assistance is organised. No assistance is requested from them and there is no evident need for their help. Must they stop merely to assist?

Correct answer

No; proceed as instructed without obstructing.

Do not stop unnecessarily or obstruct emergency services; follow officers’ instructions. Article 129.3 governs uninvolved users’ assistance and covers cases where it is evidently unnecessary or authorities or officers are already present. If assistance is needed or an accident lacks assistance, fulfil the applicable assistance duties, protect safety and call 112 when necessary.
