Cevap
Park away from the crash site to keep the immediate area clear for emergency responders, turn on hazard flashers, and set out reflective triangles within 10 minutes.
The first major priority at any crash scene is to protect the area. When stopping to assist, a commercial driver must park away from the collision to leave the area clear for emergency response personnel. To prevent secondary crashes, the driver must immediately turn on four-way hazard flashers and place three reflective warning triangles in accordance with FMCSA placement rules within 10 minutes.
