Are you obliged to stop and inform the emergency services in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a forest road, and a man is lying motionless at its right edge. You are obliged to stop, give him the necessary help and notify the emergency services. The answer is: yes.
The State Emergency Medical Services Act obliges anyone who notices a person in a state of sudden threat to health to notify the emergency services without delay, and the Criminal Code provides a penalty for not helping a person in danger when this was possible without putting yourself at risk. You make the scene safe, check whether the casualty responds and is breathing, call 112 and follow the dispatcher's instructions - if he is not breathing, you start CPR.
Legal basis: Art. 4 of the State Emergency Medical Services Act; Art. 162 of the Criminal Code
