From personal experience, I can tell you that stopping to make sure someone has a phone and has called the police/ambulance, etc., is a good idea. I have stopped for many accidents, and I'd say in about one in five I was the first to pull out a phone a make a call, to the best of my knowledge. Many people assume this happens automatically, but it doesn't. If a family member of mine was in the car, I'd be very grateful to the one person who MADE SURE help was on the way. Very sad stories are made from making assumptions that our actions are meaningless.
