While reversing a car in an apartment complex parking lot (a place that is not a road), you hit and injure a passer-by. Which of the following is correct?
💡 Hint
For the duty to help casualties and give personal details after an accident (Article 54(1) of the Road Traffic Act), "driving" includes places other than roads (Article 2, subparagraph 26). Do not assume the Road Traffic Act never applies just because the place is not a road.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Article 2(26) of the Road Traffic Act states that, for Article 54(1), 'driving' includes places other than roads. So even if you injure someone in a non-road place such as a parking lot, you must stop at once, help the injured and give the victim your personal details. Just telling the management office is not enough, and you must not skip helping the person because they can walk.
