You are involved in an accident in which only your vehicle was damaged. Are you obliged to remove it from the place of the accident, so that it does not block the traffic or pose a threat to other traffic users?

Description

Art. 44 para. 1 pt. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, consolidated text, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. In the event of a road traffic incident where there are no fatalities or injuries (a so-called collision), the driver is obliged to immediately remove the vehicle so as not to obstruct traffic. This obligation arises from Art. 44 para. 1 pt. 3 of the Road Traffic Act. If the technical condition of the vehicle, as in the situation in the picture, makes it impossible to drive away, removing it involves organising a tow truck, for example, as quickly as possible.
