If you do not have a CB radio, what is the first thing you should do at an accident scene?

  1. Record license plates

  2. Protect the accident scene

  3. Contact emergency services

  4. Assess the damages

The correct answer is: Protect the accident scene

At an accident scene, the first priority is to protect the accident scene to ensure the safety of everyone involved and to prevent further accidents. This includes using hazard lights, flares, or warning triangles to alert other drivers of the situation. By establishing a safe perimeter, you help control the scene, allowing for emergency services and others to navigate safely. Once the area is secured, the next steps would typically involve contacting emergency services if you are unable to use a CB radio to call for assistance, assessing damages, and recording necessary information. However, protecting the scene is essential to minimize risk and maintain safety until help arrives.
