Note that a person with a neck or spine injury must not be moved carelessly, and that this question asks for the incorrect statement.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Road Traffic Act Article 54(1) requires the driver involved to take measures to aid the injured, and the basics are checking consciousness and breathing, calling 119 and pressing on bleeding wounds. Moving someone with a possible neck or spinal injury can damage the nerves, so do not move them unless they are in greater danger, such as from fire. Also avoid giving the injured water or food.
