If you are involved in an accident on a roadway, what should you do?

  1. Notify the other drivers

  2. Get off the roadway if possible

  3. Wait for the ambulance

  4. Drive away from the scene

The correct answer is: Get off the roadway if possible

Getting off the roadway if possible is important for several reasons. First, it helps to ensure the safety of everyone involved, as remaining on an active roadway can expose both the individuals in the accident and other drivers to potential danger. Moving to a safer location reduces the risk of further accidents or injuries. Additionally, clearing the scene allows for better access for emergency responders and reduces traffic congestion. This action is typically advised in order to facilitate a smoother and quicker handling of the situation by authorities. It is essential to prioritize safety for all parties involved before engaging in further actions such as notifying the other drivers or waiting for assistance.
