Can you drive away and leave the lying person without any intervention in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a forest road, and a person is lying motionless at the right edge of the roadway. You have no right to drive away and leave him without help - you are obliged to stop, check what is wrong with him and call for help. The answer is: no.
Anyone who notices a person in a state of sudden threat to health is obliged to notify the emergency services without delay and, as far as possible, to give help, and failing to help a person in a situation that threatens loss of life or serious harm to health, when this can be done without putting yourself at risk, is a crime. You stop in a safe place, switch on your hazard warning lights, check consciousness and breathing, and call 112.
