191. Unfall
Ein Unfall ist ein unerwartetes Ereignis mit einem oder mehreren Verkehrsteilnehmern, bei dem Sachschaden, Verletzungen oder beides entstehen. Nach einem Verkehrsunfall hat Sicherheit Vorrang: anhalten, die Unfallstelle sichern, verletzten Personen soweit möglich helfen und bei Bedarf die Rettungsdienste verständigen. Fahrer sollten zusätzliche Gefahren vermeiden, die erforderlichen Informationen austauschen und die örtlichen Meldevorschriften beachten. Bei schweren Unfällen kann vorgeschrieben sein, dass Fahrzeuge bis zum Eintreffen der Polizei an ihrer Position bleiben.
What should you do first after a traffic accident?
Stop and make the scene as safe as possible. Warn approaching traffic, check whether anyone is injured and call the emergency services when necessary.
Should you move the vehicles after an accident?
This depends on the circumstances and local law. After a minor collision with no injuries, vehicles may need to be moved out of the traffic flow when it is safe. After a serious injury accident, they may need to remain in place for investigation.
What information should drivers exchange after an accident?
Drivers commonly exchange names, contact details, vehicle information and insurance details. The exact legal requirements vary between countries.
When should the police be called after an accident?
Police should generally be contacted when there are injuries, serious damage, disagreement, suspected offences or difficulty identifying the people involved. Local reporting rules may require police involvement in additional situations.
What is an accident report form?
An accident report form records information about the vehicles, drivers, damage and circumstances of a collision and can help insurers process the claim.
Can you leave the scene of an accident?
Drivers and other involved persons are normally required to stop and fulfil their legal duties. Leaving without doing so may constitute a serious offence such as hit-and-run.
