📖 Topic overview
This section explains what to do at a crash scene, how to handle a disabled vehicle, and how to behave during a traffic stop. Whenever you are in a crash, put on your emergency flashers or flares to warn other drivers. If someone is injured, you must remain at the scene, call 911 immediately, and not move the vehicles. Leaving the scene has severe consequences.
The manual states specific penalties for leaving a crash scene. Leaving the scene of a crash that results in a serious injury means your license is revoked, and you could face up to 5 years in prison and a fine up to $5,000. Leaving the scene of a crash where someone dies is a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. You must always call the police when someone is injured, a vehicle cannot be moved, or a driver appears to be under the influence.
At a traffic stop, you must follow the officer's directions or you may be arrested. Pull off as far from traffic as possible, turn on your flashers, turn off your engine and radio, roll down your window, stay in your vehicle with your seat belt fastened, and keep your hands in plain view. Do not argue about the citation; you can make your case in court. Under the Move Over Law, a violation carries a $110 fine and one point, a violation that causes a crash carries a $150 fine and three points, and one causing death or serious injury carries a $750 fine and three points.
