Breakdowns and incidents•Rule 282
Passing Crash Scenes Safely
When passing the scene of an incident or crash do not be distracted or slow down unnecessarily (for example if an incident is on the other side of a dual carriageway). This may cause a collision or traffic congestion, but see Rule 283, below.
💡Example
Do not slow down or stare at crashes or incidents as you pass them, especially if they are on the other side of the road. This can cause new collisions or traffic jams. For example, if you see flashing blue lights and a damaged car on the opposite carriageway of a dual carriageway, you should maintain a steady, safe speed and keep your attention on the road ahead rather than looking at the incident.
