When you drive a tram, can you leave the scene of a road accident, in which there is an injured person so as not to obstruct traffic?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The question is about a road accident involving a tram in which someone is injured. You cannot leave the scene of such an accident, even to avoid obstructing traffic - the answer is NO.
If someone is killed or injured in an accident, the driver must give the necessary help to the victims, call the emergency medical service and the Police, not do anything that would make it harder to establish how the accident happened, and stay at the scene. The duty to remove the vehicle from the scene of the accident immediately applies only when nobody is killed or injured. A tram standing at the scene of the accident obstructs traffic, but its position is important for establishing how the incident happened. Driving away without helping an injured person may be the crime of failing to give help, and a person who caused an accident and fled the scene faces a more severe penalty.
