You have just been in a traffic collision. What are you required to do?
Correct answer: Stop, aid anyone who is hurt, notify the police, swap information, and contact your insurer.
Answer options
- AStop, aid anyone who is hurt, notify the police, swap information, and contact your insurer. Correct
- BStop, lift any injured person into your car, and drive them to the nearest hospital yourself.
- CStop briefly, check your own car for damage, and keep driving if it still runs normally.
Why
After any crash, a driver has to stop at the scene, give reasonable help to anyone hurt, notify the police, trade names, license, and insurance details with the others involved, and let their own insurance company know. Leaving the scene is against the law, and moving an injured person who is not in immediate danger can make their injuries worse.
