Question 6552

If you witness an accident in which you are neither involved nor is your help clearly needed, must you stop?

  1. Only if it occurs outside a built-up area and there is no SOS post nearby.
  2. Yes, you must always stop and help.
  3. No, you must continue on your way.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, you must continue on your way.

No. If you are not involved and it is clear that your help is not needed, keep going, even in a built-up area or far from an SOS post. In the image, medical personnel are already treating the motorcyclist and an officer is directing traffic, so stopping would get in the way. Follow the officer's directions.
