A 3-minute lesson from the Arkansas course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
If you're in a crash, you must stop, keep the scene safe, help the injured and report it. If you're not involved, keep driving carefully so you don't block rescue vehicles.
Know the rule
Don't stop at a crash unless you're involved or emergency help hasn't arrived. Never drive to the scene of a crash, fire or disaster; you could block police, fire, ambulance and tow vehicles.
Report the crash to the Office of Driver Services (Department of Finance and Administration) if there's an injury, a death, or more than $3,000 damage to one person's property.
You rear-end a car at low speed and the other driver's bumper looks like about $3,500 of damage. Move the cars off the road, call police (damage over $1,000), exchange information, and file a report with the Office of Driver Services within 30 days (over $3,000).
Check your understanding
Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
