Crash scene duties — Wyoming Permit Test
Crash scene duties on the Wyoming permit test — 7 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
If you are in a crash in Wyoming, you must stop at or near the scene and stay there until the police have arrived and questioned everyone involved.
Leaving before police talk to everyone makes it hard to learn what happened and can be a crime.
Stop your vehicle at or near the crash scene, and stay there until the police have arrived and questioned everyone involved;
After a crash, give aid to the injured and send for an ambulance, but do not move an injured person unless there is danger of another crash.
Moving someone with a hurt neck or back can paralyze them, so only a greater danger justifies it.
DO NOT MOVE AN INJURED PERSON unless there is danger of another crash;
After a crash, warn passing traffic, or have someone warn approaching traffic, to prevent further damage.
Drivers coming over a hill do not expect stopped cars, and a second crash often hurts more people than the first.
Warn passing traffic (Have someone warn approaching traffic to prevent further damage.);
After a crash, get the names and addresses of all witnesses as well as everyone involved.
Witnesses scatter fast, and what they saw can settle who was at fault later.
Get the names and addresses of all witnesses as well as persons involved in the crash;
After a crash, record the other driver's name, address, driver license number, insurance company, vehicle make, model and year, damage and license plate number.
Insurance claims and police reports need these details, and you may never see the other driver again.
Record the other driver’s name and address, driver license number, make of vehicle, insurance company name, model and year of vehicle, damage to the vehicle, and license plate number;
Contact the police after a crash if there is an injury, a death, or property damage of $1,000 or more.
Crashes this serious need an official report so injuries and costs are on record.
Contact the police if there is an injury, death or property damage amounting to $1,000 or more.
Wyoming law requires you to give the police information on the crash at the time of the crash.
Memories fade and scenes get cleared, so the facts are most accurate right there and then.
The law requires you to give the police information on the crash at the time of the crash.
On the test
After a crash, how long must you stay at the scene?
Until police have questioned everyone. Leaving before police talk to everyone makes it hard to learn what happened and can be a crime. Wyoming Rules of the Road Driver License Manual, p.67: “Stop your vehicle at or near the crash scene, and stay there until the police have arrived and questioned everyone involved;”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
