Hugo is deaf. On the road, he sees a serious car accident. How can he alert the emergency services?

In the exam (French)

Hugo est sourd. Sur la route, il voit un grave accident de voiture. Comment peut-il prévenir les secours ?

  1. aSend an email to the nearest police station.Envoyer un e-mail au commissariat de police le plus proche.
  2. bPost an alert message on social networks.Publier un message d'alerte sur les réseaux sociaux.
  3. cSend a text message to 114, the special emergency number.Envoyer un SMS au 114, le numéro d'urgence adapté.Correct answer
  4. dWalk to the nearest fire station.Aller à pied jusqu'à la caserne des pompiers la plus proche.

Why?

114 is the emergency number for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. It is free, works 24 hours a day, in particular by text message (SMS), and passes the alert on to the SAMU (emergency medical service), the police or the fire service. An email or a message on social networks is not a reliable way to raise the alarm.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in French, as shown above.
