Theory Mastery

Eigen veiligheid

The course material sets five steps in a fixed order, summarised in the mnemonic paman: first your own safety (don't stand in the carriageway), then the safety of other people involved, then marking the accident scene (warning triangle, hazard lights, hand signals), then alerting the emergency services, and only last the necessary first aid

How the exam asks it

About Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offence — and the PAMAN order: which statement is WRONG?

  1. The prohibition applies to death, injury OR damage.
  2. The book names location, situation, number of vehicles and number of injured — a driving licence number is nowhere named as required 112 information.
  3. When calling 112 it is enough to say there has been an accident; the exact location and number of injured can follow later.
  4. 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'.
Show the answer

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.

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: Leaving the scene of an accident is only an offence if there are injuries; with sheet-metal damage only, you may just drive off.

Correct answer: 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'.; The book names location, situation, number of vehicles and number of injured — a driving licence number is nowhere named as required 112 information.

With sheet-metal damage only, the police often do not come; the book asks for a photo and driving to a car park together with the other party, not waiting on the spot for the police

Why learners get this wrong: Even with only bodywork damage to a parked car you must stay and wait on the spot until the police arrive.

About Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offence — and the PAMAN order: which statement is WRONG?

  1. AMAN starts with Personal safety; Alerting is only the fourth step.
  2. Leaving the scene of an accident is only an offence if there are injuries; with sheet-metal damage only, you may just drive off.
  3. 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'.

Correct answer: Leaving the scene of an accident is only an offence if there are injuries; with sheet-metal damage only, you may just drive off.

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'

Why learners get this wrong: At an accident, calling 112 is your very first action, even before attending to your own safety.
