Ch. 10 · Accidents & Disaster

Which of the following is the correct response when you witness a hit-and-run?

[Multiple choice · Medium]

Answer: B: Rescue the injured person and report the vehicle's license plate number, model, color, and other characteristics to a police officer by calling 110, etc.

Explanation

The Rules of the Road 3(2) clearly states: "When you witness a hit-and-run, rescue the injured person and report the vehicle's license plate number, model, color, and other characteristics to a police officer by calling 110, etc." Both rescuing the injured person and reporting to the police are necessary.

Nope! People come first, then the info. Do both and you've done the right thing!
