Question 277 in the bank

How should those involved in a road accident, which resulted in property damage only, conduct themselves?

  1. Exchange identifying details and wait for the rescue forces without moving any of the involved vehicles.
  2. Correct answer: Clear their vehicles away from the roadway, without delay, and exchange identifying details.
  3. Report to the police and wait for its instructions.
  4. Call the rescue forces and wait at the place of the accident without moving any of the involved vehicles.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Clear their vehicles away from the roadway, without delay, and exchange identifying details.

When an accident causes only property damage and nobody is hurt, there is no reason to leave the vehicles blocking the road. They should be cleared away at once to prevent traffic jams and further crashes, and the drivers exchange identifying details for insurance purposes. Calling rescue forces and leaving vehicles in place is what you do when people are injured, not in a damage-only accident.
