Are you obliged to give assistance if you witness a traffic accident in which you are not directly involved?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The traffic regulations and the Criminal Code establish the duty to render assistance for all road users, whether drivers or pedestrians. If a person witnesses a road accident or knows of it, they are legally obliged to give assistance, cooperate to avoid greater dangers and alert the emergency services (unless assistance has already been organized and their presence is not necessary). Failing to act in this situation amounts to the crime of failure to render assistance. Therefore, it is not necessary to be involved in the accident or to wait for the victims to ask for help in order to have the obligation to step in.
