When driving a vehicle involved in a road accident in which people are injured, are you obliged to remove the vehicle from the scene of the accident not to obstruct the traffic?
Description
Art. 44 para. 2 pt. 2) of the Act of 20 June 1997 Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: No
If someone is injured or killed in a crash, do not move the vehicles merely to clear traffic. Secure the scene, call for help and assist casualties while avoiding unnecessary disturbance of evidence. Saving life and addressing immediate danger take priority; preserving the scene must not prevent essential rescue actions.
