If you are involved in a road accident, are you obliged to notify the police if there are no casualties or injured persons?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The question is about the duties of a tram driver involved in a road accident. If nobody has been killed or injured in the accident, you do not have to notify the Police - the answer is NO.
The Road Traffic Act imposes the duty to call an emergency medical team and the Police when someone has been killed or injured in the accident. If nobody has been hurt, those involved must stop, secure the scene, immediately remove the vehicles if they block traffic, and at each other's request give their personal details and insurer details. However, the tram driver always informs the company's traffic control centre (nadzór ruchu). It is worth calling the Police when those involved do not agree on how the incident happened or someone is drunk.
