Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, any driver who creates an obstacle or danger on the road is obliged to remove it as soon as possible. The priority action plan is: Signal the danger immediately (using hazard lights and warning devices) to prevent further accidents. Remove the load from the roadway to restore road safety. Waiting for the police or notifying authorities is a secondary measure that applies only if the driver cannot remove the obstacle by themselves or if doing so is dangerous.
