Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, you can see a grey car with a dented rear corner and a scraped bumper, moved onto the grass next to the roadway; an ambulance and a police car are in the background. The question is about an incident in which no one has been killed or injured - in that case, a person involved is obliged to remove the vehicle from the scene of the accident immediately, so that it does not obstruct traffic or create danger. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver involved in an accident to stop the vehicle without causing danger, to secure the scene, and to remove the vehicle from the scene of the accident immediately so that it does not cause danger or obstruct traffic, if no one has been killed or injured. Before you move the car, it is a good idea to take a few photos with your phone showing the position of the vehicles and the damage - this will later make it easier to fill in the accident statement and to settle the claim with the insurer.
