If you are involved in a traffic accident where there are serious injuries or fatalities, what action must you avoid taking unless absolutely necessary for safety?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is modifying traces or the state of things. Detailed explanation: According to General Traffic Regulations, in the event of an accident with serious victims or fatalities, the administrative and judicial priority is the investigation of the causes. Therefore, it is prohibited to modify the state of things and traces (such as skid marks, debris, vehicle positions, etc.), as they constitute vital evidence for the reconstruction of the accident by the agents. Exceptions: The scene may only be altered if strictly necessary to: Attend to the injured (safety of the victims). Restore traffic safety (always trying to mark the original position before moving anything). The other options are incorrect because communicating with agents and providing identity are mandatory duties, not actions to avoid.
