Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
The question is about the obligations of a moped rider who is involved in a road accident. You are obliged to stop the moped without creating a danger to traffic safety - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver involved in a road accident to stop the vehicle without creating a danger to road traffic safety, and to take appropriate measures to ensure traffic safety at the accident scene. Leaving the accident scene is a petty offence, and if people are injured - it may be a crime. You stop in a way that does not cause another collision, for example not after a bend, you switch on the hazard warning lights if you have them, and you mark the scene of the incident. Only then do you take care of the casualties.
