Are you obliged to remove a moped from the road when you are involved in an accident in which someone is killed or injured?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The question is about the obligations of a person involved in a road accident in which someone is killed or injured. In such a situation you are not obliged to remove the moped from the road - the answer is NO.
The obligation to remove the vehicle from the accident scene immediately applies only when no one is killed or injured. If someone is killed or injured in the accident, the driver must give help, call the emergency medical team and the police, stay at the scene and not take any actions that could make it harder to establish how the accident happened. Moving the moped would change the position of the vehicles and the traces that the police use to reconstruct how the incident happened. Instead, you make the scene safe - you switch on the hazard warning lights if the vehicle has them, and you put out the warning triangle.
