Si tienes un accidente de auto, debes decirle a la otra persona tu nombre y dirección. También tienes que ayudar a los heridos, llevándolos al hospital si lo necesitan.

Es como si al romper un objeto en casa, no solo lo dejaras tirado, sino que también ayudaras a recogerlo y a arreglarlo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan choca su coche contra el auto de María en una intersección. Juan le da su nombre y dirección a María, y como ella se siente mal, él la lleva al hospital para que la revisen.
