What should an operator NOT do after being involved in a vehicle accident?

Fleeing the scene of an accident is considered a serious offense and is against the law in most jurisdictions. After an accident, it is crucial for the operator to remain at the scene to ensure the safety of all parties involved and to comply with legal requirements. By staying, the operator can provide necessary information to law enforcement, exchange details with other involved parties, and assist anyone who may have been injured.

The other actions listed, such as attempting to move the vehicle, checking on others involved, and calling emergency services, are generally seen as responsible steps to take after an accident. Moving the vehicle can be appropriate if it poses a danger to traffic flow, checking on others demonstrates concern and care, and calling emergency services is vital for obtaining medical help if needed.
