Among the theory questions you may get in the car there is also the procedure to follow in case of an accident (in caso di incidente). The answer is an exact sequence, to be given in order.
The sequence: 1) stop immediately, 2) switch on the hazard lights (4 frecce), 3) put on the high-visibility vest (giubbotto riflettente), 4) place the warning triangle (triangolo) at least 50 metres away, 5) if anyone is injured, call 112 and do not move them, unless there is serious danger.

Stop immediately, switch on the hazard lights (4 frecce), put on the high-visibility vest (giubbotto riflettente), place the warning triangle (triangolo) at least 50 metres away and, if anyone is injured, call 112 without moving them, unless there is serious danger.
At least 50 metres from the vehicle, so that it can be seen by vehicles coming up behind.
No, unless there is serious and immediate danger (e.g. fire). You must call the emergency services on 112 and wait for them to arrive.
Common mistake: listing the actions in the wrong order or forgetting the vest, which must be put on before you get out on the road side.
Tip: learn the sequence as a chain of 5 links: stop → hazard lights → vest → triangle → 112. At the exam, saying it in order, without hesitating, closes the question in ten seconds.
