Correct answer
Protect yourself, the scene and the casualties without exposing yourself to traffic.
First, protect: check that you can intervene without endangering yourself and protect the casualties and scene without creating new risks. If your car becomes immobilised, signal it using a certified connected V16 and the appropriate lights. Do not get out to place triangles or enter the traffic lanes. If you cannot safely leave the vehicle, remain inside with your seat belt fastened. Then alert 112 and provide help within your competence and according to the instructions received. The expanded PEAS sequence adds a quick assessment before alerting; both begin with protection.
