You are the first person to arrive at the scene of an accident with injured persons. What should you do first as a rule?

Your answer is correct because the first priority at the scene of an accident is to secure the area to prevent further accidents or injuries. In German traffic rules, making the scene safe means warning other road users—for example, by placing warning triangles or activating hazard lights—and ensuring that there is no immediate danger such as fire or traffic. Only after securing the scene should you check for injured persons and then call the rescue service. This sequence helps protect everyone involved and avoids additional harm.
