Correct answer
- BSí, salvo que la ayuda esté ya organizada.Yes, unless help has already been organised.
Anyone who witnesses an accident must help the victims or call for help for them. Under Article 129.3 of the General Traffic Regulations, a witness who is not involved is exempt only when their help is clearly not needed or when the authorities or their officers are already at the scene. Failing to help can be a criminal offence (failure to assist a person in danger).
