Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you can see a car first aid kit with a cross symbol and the emergency number 112. If you are involved in an accident in which someone is injured, you are obliged to give first aid - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver, in the event of an accident in which someone is killed or injured, to give the necessary help to the victims of the accident and to call the medical emergency team and the police. The Criminal Code provides for liability for failing to help a person who is in direct danger of losing their life or suffering serious harm to health, if help can be given without putting yourself at risk. First you secure the accident scene, then you call 112, and then you give help, for example you stop bleeding. It is also a good idea to carry a first aid kit in the luggage box of your moped.
