In the U.S. (well at least in Utah were I live) it's the law that you must stop and render aid when an accident occurs in front of you. Even if everyone is OK. I've been driving in Utah for 52 years, and seen many accidents on the road, and nobody here ever stops and helps. I think I'm the only one who actually has ever pulled over and helped at an accident scene, to get the drivers off the road.
But that's also dangerous, because people getting out of their cars even after an accident here, are very often hit and killed by other drivers. In Utah, nobody stops for anyone or anything in their way, under any circumstances.
