In Portuguese traffic law, what obligation does a driver have when involved in a road traffic collision causing personal injury?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Stop immediately, assist the injured, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene until police arrive
- Step 1: Duties following injury collisions. Step 2. Article 89 mandates stopping immediately, rendering assistance to injured parties, calling 112, and preserving evidence until traffic police (GNR or PSP) complete their report. Leaving the scene of an injury accident constitutes the crime of hit-and-run (omissão de auxílio). Answer: Stop immediately, assist the injured, notify emergency services (112), and remain at the scene until police arrive. Why not the others: Leaving an injury accident is a serious criminal offense.
