If possible, are you obliged to remove the tram from an accident scene, in which there are no casualties or injured persons?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
The question is about the duties of a tram driver involved in a road accident. If nobody has been injured or killed in the accident, you must, if possible, remove the tram from the scene of the accident - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver to remove the vehicle from the scene of the accident immediately so that it does not cause danger or block traffic, if nobody has been killed or injured. A tram standing on the tracks blocks other trams and often also car traffic, so after securing the scene, taking photos of the situation and exchanging details, you drive to a place where it does not obstruct traffic - provided the tram is in working order. Further action is usually also decided by the company's traffic control centre (nadzór ruchu).
