When you drive a tram, can you leave the scene of a road accident, in which there is an injured person so as not to obstruct traffic?

Explanation

Correct answer: No

Any driver who is involved in a road traffic accident with casualties has a legal and moral duty to provide necessary assistance to the injured and to remain at the scene of the accident. This duty takes precedence over any traffic obstructions, and failure to comply with it is a punishable offence. Minimising traffic disruption is important, but it must never come at the expense of human life and health.
