Home › CDL Practice Tests › General Knowledge Questions › Question 155
Why should you avoid discussing who caused the crash with other drivers or bystanders at the scene?
- A.Talking at the scene is a criminal offense
- B.Statements about fault can be inaccurate in the confusion and can be used later; stick to factual information for police and your employer
- C.Police prefer that no one speaks at all
- D.Fault is decided by whichever driver talks most
Correct answer
B. Statements about fault can be inaccurate in the confusion and can be used later; stick to factual information for police and your employer
Why
Right after a crash, no driver has the full picture, and early admissions often turn out to be wrong. Giving facts to officers and your company, without volunteering conclusions about blame, protects both the investigation and your own record.
