Correct answer
YES
Explanation
The question is about the duties of a tram driver involved in a road accident. As a tram driver you are obliged to give your personal details to a passenger involved in the accident - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver involved in an accident, when requested by a person involved in the accident, to give their personal details, the personal details of the owner or keeper of the vehicle and the details of the insurance company with which the compulsory third-party liability insurance (OC) contract was made. A tram passenger who was hurt in the accident is a participant in it, so they may request these details. The passenger needs them to claim compensation. The tram driver gives them calmly, even if the driver thinks that they did not cause the accident.
