Question 4368

In especially serious circumstances, may sick people be transported in a passenger car?

  1. Yes, but never over a distance of more than 50 km.
  2. Yes, as long as there is no other means.
  3. No, under no circumstances.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, as long as there is no other means.

Yes. Emergency transport of sick or injured people is the responsibility of ambulances and other emergency vehicles, but in especially serious circumstances, with no other means available, you may transport them in your passenger car. This could happen, for example, when someone is isolated and has been unable to call for help. There is no distance limit. Your car does not become an emergency vehicle, so follow traffic rules and drive smoothly.
