Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is based on the PAS rule: Protect, Alert, and Succor. The unavoidable first step is self-protection and protection of the area (stopping the vehicle safely, putting on the vest, signaling the obstacle). If you try to assist or call without first making sure that you are not in danger (for example, of being run over), you could become a new victim, making the accident worse and leaving the original injured people without help. Therefore, protecting yourself takes priority before calling or attending to the victims.
