When involved in an accident where there are no casualties, are you obliged to summon the police?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The question is about a road accident in which no one is injured or killed. In that case you are not obliged to call the police - the answer is NO.
The Road Traffic Act obliges a driver to call the emergency medical team and the police when someone is killed or injured in the accident. If no one was hurt, the people involved must stop, make the scene of the incident safe, remove the vehicles immediately so that they do not block traffic, and at each other's request give their personal data and the details of their third-party liability (OC) insurer. They may fill in a joint accident statement. However, it is worth calling the police when the people involved do not agree about how the incident happened, when someone is drunk, or when someone does not have valid insurance.
