Under the Good Samaritan Law in Germany, what are drivers required to do at the scene of an accident?

Under the Good Samaritan Law in Germany, drivers are required to render first aid at the scene of an accident if it is reasonably possible for them to do so. This law encourages bystanders to assist individuals who are injured in accidents without fear of legal repercussions for their actions, provided those actions were well-intentioned and aimed at helping. The obligation to provide assistance aligns with the moral responsibility to help others in distress, especially when lives may be at stake.

This requirement goes beyond merely contacting emergency services; while it is crucial to inform authorities, the law emphasizes immediate action in the form of first aid when it is safe and feasible to help the injured persons on the spot. It reflects a community-oriented approach to safety and support.
