What is any road user obliged to do if they witness or become aware of a traffic accident?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The regulations establish that any road user (driver or pedestrian) who is involved in an accident, witnesses it or becomes aware of it is obliged to help or call for help to attend to the victims if help has not already been organized. This is known as the duty to render aid and is governed by the P.A.S. conduct (Protect, Alert and Help). Ignoring the situation and leaving the scene is the crime of failure to render aid. You are only exempt from intervening if the emergency services or the authorities have already taken charge of the situation.
