For answer  A 

The driver of a vehicle who has hit a pedestrian who crossed the road, regardless of whether the pedestrian crossed lawfully or not, has the obligation to notify the police, not to modify the traces of the accident and not to leave the place of the act. In this case it is prohibited the leaving of the place of the act without the approval of the police or of the prosecutor who carries out the investigation. Failure to comply with the prohibition of leaving the place of the act is considered an offence and is punished with imprisonment from 2 to 7 years.

However, it does NOT constitute an offence the situation in which, in the absence of other means of transport, the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident personally transports the injured person to the nearest hospital, having the obligation to declare his personal identification data and the registration or record number of the driven vehicle, data which will be recorded in a special register, and to return immediately to the place of the accident.

For answer  B 

Retaining the names and addresses of the witnesses is not among the obligations that the road legislation imposes on drivers who have been involved in traffic accidents.

For answer  C 

Because the accident resulted in victims, you are prohibited from leaving the place of the act without the approval of the police or the prosecutor who carries out the investigation, this being considered an offence, except for the situation in which the victim is transported to the nearest hospital, an exception detailed in the explanation of answer A.

The Criminal Code provides that, in the event of involvement in such an accident, leaving the place of the accident does not constitute an offence also when the victim leaves the place of the act, and the driver of the vehicle immediately notifies the event at the nearest police unit. However, in answer C or in the question statement it is not specified that the hit pedestrian leaves the place of the accident. Therefore, answer C cannot be correct.

The correct answer is: A
