Show answer

Correct answer

  • BSí, en general.Yes, in general.
Explanation

Under Article 129 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), anyone who witnesses an accident without being involved must help or call for help, unless their help is clearly not needed or the police are already there. That is why the answer is ‘yes, in general’, and knowing first aid is not required.
