If you are involved in a road accident in which there are no casualties or injured persons, are you obliged to call the police?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo we see a tram and a white car with its bonnet open, standing right next to it after an incident on the tram tracks. When you are involved in a road accident in which nobody has been killed or injured, you do not have to call the police - the answer is NO.
The obligation to call the police and the ambulance service arises when someone has been killed or injured in an accident. When there is only damage to property, the people involved must stop their vehicles, secure the scene, give each other their details and move the vehicles without delay so that they do not block traffic. You may call the police, for example when the people involved do not agree about who is at fault, but this is not obligatory. The tram driver also informs the dispatcher.
