In which two scenarios is it appropriate to not obtain the address first?

In situations where the vehicle is in water, the priority shifts to ensuring the safety of individuals involved rather than gathering specific details about the accident, such as obtaining the address. When a vehicle is submerged or poses a risk of submersion, immediate action may be necessary to assist passengers or the driver. In such scenarios, the focus should be on rescue efforts and checking the well-being of the individuals, rather than on collecting information that can be documented later.

In contrast, other scenarios mentioned typically involve gathering relevant information to assess the situation properly. For instance, minor accidents may still allow for information collection without any immediate danger. Intoxication or suspicious behavior may require immediate action, but generating a record or understanding circumstances usually takes precedence over immediate rescue needs. In these cases, obtaining the address can help provide responders with critical location details for follow-up or law enforcement involvement.
