Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

Under Article 129 of the General Traffic Regulations, road users involved in an accident must help the injured. But this does not include giving medicines such as tranquillisers, unless a medical professional says so. Giving tranquillisers could create extra risks, so the correct answer is 'No'.
