About Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offence — and the PAMAN order: which statement is WRONG?
- The prohibition applies to death, injury OR damage.
- The book names location, situation, number of vehicles and number of injured — a driving licence number is nowhere named as required 112 information.
- ✓ When calling 112 it is enough to say there has been an accident; the exact location and number of injured can follow later.
- For exactly this case the book gives a concrete duty: leave your contact details at the damaged vehicle and inform the police. 'That is mandatory'.
Correct answer: When calling 112 it is enough to say there has been an accident; the exact location and number of injured can follow later.
Explanation
You describe as exactly as possible where you are, what happened, how many vehicles are involved and how many (seriously) injured there are — 'that way the right services arrive fastest'
Why learners get this wrong
- The prohibition applies to death, injury OR damage. With sheet-metal damage only, the book prescribes its own procedure (photo + drive together to a car park, p.170) — no procedure is 'just drive off'
- The book names location, situation, number of vehicles and number of injured — a driving licence number is nowhere named as required 112 information
- For exactly this case the book gives a concrete duty: leave your contact details at the damaged vehicle and inform the police. 'That is mandatory'
