When involved in an accident, you should provide:
- Your insurance and registration information.
- Your full name and address.
- Reasonable assistance to anyone who has been injured.
- All of the above. ✓
Answer: D. All of the above.
You should do all of the above: provide your insurance and registration information, give your name and address, and give reasonable assistance to anyone injured.
Why this is the answer
The Texas handbook describes the duties after a crash that injures or kills someone. You must stop and stay at the scene, then give your name and address, the vehicle's registration number, and the name of your liability insurer. You must also show your license if asked and available. If someone is hurt, you must give reasonable assistance, including arranging transport to a physician or hospital when treatment seems needed or the injured person asks for it. Since each listed item is part of those duties, the answer that includes all of them is correct.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Your insurance and registration information. — Giving only insurance and registration information does not cover your name and address or the reasonable help required for injured people.
- B. Your full name and address. — Giving only your name and address omits the registration and insurer details and the reasonable assistance required for injured people.
- C. Reasonable assistance to anyone who has been injured. — Giving only reasonable assistance leaves out the name, address, registration, and insurer information you must also provide.
Remember it
At a crash, remember three shares: share your details, share your insurance and registration, and share help with the injured.
