Correct answer

  • BSí, en la medida de lo posible.Yes, as far as possible.
Explanation

Under Article 129 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), those involved in an accident must help or call for help, work together to prevent further danger and, as far as possible, restore traffic safety. This is not a task only for the police, and it does not depend on whether there are casualties.
