In the presented situation are you obliged to stop in all cases?

In the photo, you are driving on a dual carriageway between noise barriers, and in front of you a crashed car is standing across the lanes, with a man standing next to it. In such a situation you are always obliged to stop. The answer is: yes.

The crashed car is blocking both lanes, so it is impossible to pass it safely, and the Road Traffic Act requires you to drive at a speed that allows you to stop before an obstacle and to avoid actions that endanger safety. You were not involved in the accident, but anyone who notices a person in a state of sudden health emergency must notify the emergency services and give help as far as possible, and the law provides for criminal liability for failing to give help. You stop at a safe distance, switch on the hazard warning lights, put out the warning triangle and call 112.

Legal basis: Art. 19 para. 1 and Art. 3 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); Art. 4 of the State Emergency Medical Services Act; Art. 162 of the Criminal Code
