Questions Learners Have About Accident Duties & Scene Safety

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Accident Duties & Scene Safety, including how questions match the official theory exam in Switzerland, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are my immediate duties after a road accident in Switzerland?

After an accident, your immediate duties in Switzerland include ensuring your own safety, securing the accident scene, providing first aid to injured persons, and alerting emergency services (112 or 117) if necessary. If vehicles are drivable, move them to the emergency lane.

When should I contact the police after a traffic accident in Switzerland?

You must contact the police (117 or 112) if there are injured persons, significant material damage, or if the other party is not present. Even for minor incidents, if you cannot agree on the facts or damage is substantial, contacting the police is advisable.

How do I secure an accident scene safely on a Swiss motorway?

On a Swiss motorway, after an accident, immediately switch on your hazard lights. If possible and safe, move your vehicle to the emergency lane. Put on a safety vest, place the warning triangle at least 100 meters behind your vehicle, and get to a safe location, preferably behind the guardrail, before calling emergency services using 117, 112, or an SOS phone.

What is the role of an uninvolved driver witnessing an accident in Switzerland?

As an uninvolved driver, your primary duty is to ensure your own safety. If safe to do so, you should alert emergency services (112/117 or SOS phone) and assist injured persons. If you are not a first responder, drive past the scene carefully but as quickly as possible to avoid hindering emergency efforts or causing further congestion.

What if the accident vehicles are drivable after a collision?

If the accident vehicles are still drivable and there are no serious injuries, you should move them off the main carriageway to the emergency lane or a safe pull-off area. This helps to prevent secondary accidents and keeps traffic flowing, especially on motorways, but only do so if it is safe and practical.

What specific equipment should I have in my car for emergencies in Switzerland?

In Switzerland, it is highly recommended to carry a warning triangle and a safety vest in your vehicle. These are crucial for securing an accident or breakdown scene and ensuring your visibility and safety, especially on motorways or in poor light conditions.
