Question 8251

If a driver witnesses a traffic accident in which they are not involved, must they stop to assist or call for help to aid the victims?

  1. Only if they have first-aid knowledge.
  2. Yes, except in cases where their help is clearly not needed.
  3. No, since they are not involved they have no responsibility.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, except in cases where their help is clearly not needed.

Yes. Even if you are not involved, you must help the victims or call for help. Even without first-aid knowledge, calling 112 is already a way to help. You are released from this obligation if your help is clearly not needed or police officers have arrived.
