Description

Art. 44 para. 2 pt. 2) of the Act of 20 June 1997 Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

No, in the case of an accident with injured persons, the vehicles must absolutely not be moved. According to Art. 44 para. 1 pt. 3 of the Road Traffic Act, the positions of the vehicles must remain unchanged so as not to erase traces and not to make it difficult for the police to determine the course of the incident. The obligation to remove vehicles from the road only applies to collisions in which no one was injured.
