BDifficulty 3/5

You witness an accident in which you are not involved; the authorities or their officers have not yet arrived and your assistance is clearly needed. Must you stop and help?

Correct answer

Yes, stop without creating danger and help as far as possible.

Yes, as far as you can, stopping without creating a new danger and providing or requesting appropriate assistance. Article 129 of the General Traffic Regulations establishes this duty to help. If there are casualties and help has not been called, call 112; protect the scene and follow instructions within your capabilities. Do not alter evidence except for safety reasons. When your help is no longer needed or officers take charge, follow their directions and do not obstruct rescue work.
