In which case may a driver who caused a traffic accident, in an emergency, leave the accident measures or the report to a passenger etc. and keep driving?
💡 Hint
A driver who causes an accident must, in principle, stop immediately and take action personally, and the vehicles whose drivers may leave this to a passenger and keep driving are listed in Article 54(5) of the Road Traffic Act. Think about whether a driver's personal or business urgency counts as an "emergency."
Answer: ②
Explanation
Article 54(5) allows drivers of emergency vehicles, vehicles carrying injured people, postal vehicles, trams etc. to have a passenger etc. take the measures or make the report and keep driving in an emergency. A taxi passenger's appointment, a delivery deadline or being late for a meeting are not such exceptions, so the driver must stop immediately and act personally.
