Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The question is about the duties of a tram driver involved in a road accident. If you are involved in an accident in which people are killed or injured, you are not allowed to leave the scene of the accident when the traffic control services (służby nadzoru ruchu) arrive - the answer is NO.
If someone is killed or injured in an accident, the driver must stay at the scene of the accident, and if calling the emergency medical team or the police requires going away - come back without delay. The driver must also not drink alcohol until the police arrive. The arrival of the transport company's traffic control services does not free you from these duties - they do not replace the police, who establish how the accident happened. So you stay at the scene until the police allow you to leave.
