In the presented situation the engine will not start. Are you obliged to try to remove the vehicle from the track-way?
Description
Art. 28 para. 4 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended), in conjunction with § 21 para. 4, § 78 para. 5 pt. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended).
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Yes, this is the first and most important action in this critical situation. Art. 28 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act requires a driver, in the event their vehicle becomes immobilised on a railway crossing, to immediately remove it from the crossing. This can be done, for example, by pushing the vehicle, even with the help of other people. Only if this fails should the train driver be warned.
