Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
The question is about the duties of a tram driver involved in a road accident. If people have been killed or injured in the accident, you must notify the Police and call an emergency medical team - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver, if someone has been killed or injured in the accident, to give the necessary help to the accident victims and to call an emergency medical team and the Police. The simplest way to do this is to call the emergency number 112 - the dispatcher will notify the right services and can tell you how to give help. The driver must also stay at the scene of the accident, and if calling for help requires leaving - return immediately. The driver does not do anything that could make it difficult to establish how the incident happened.
