Virginia Code § 46.2-894 imposes what duty on drivers?

• A. Duty of driver to stop in event of accident involving injury or death or damage to attended property.
• B. Passing school buses.
• C. Vehicle license requirements.
• D. Use of headlights at night.

Answer: (A)

The main rule being tested is the mandatory duty of a driver involved in a crash to stop at the scene when the incident results in injury, death, or damage to attended property. Virginia law requires you to stop immediately, remain at the scene, and provide your name and address and vehicle information, while also rendering reasonable aid to anyone injured and reporting the incident as required. This duty prevents hit-and-run behavior and ensures victims can get help and that a proper exchange of information and investigation can occur. The other options describe separate traffic rules—like how to handle school buses, general license requirements for vehicles, or using headlights at night—and do not address the driver’s obligation to stop at the scene of a crash.
