Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In any road accident, the universal emergency protocol known as the PAS (protect, alert, help) rule must be followed rigorously, strictly respecting that chronological order. Therefore, the first action is always to PROTECT (both the driver and the accident site) by safely parking the truck off the roadway if possible, switching on the hazard lights, wearing the reflective vest and properly signaling the site. Helping the victims before securing the area creates a serious danger of further rear-end collisions or of people being run over. Likewise, as a general rule, seriously injured people must not be moved or transported in vehicles that are not medically equipped, unless there is an imminent threat to life (such as fire or explosion).
