Is everyone obliged to give first aid to victims of accidents?

Is everyone obliged to give first aid to victims of accidents?
aNo, because aid may be given only persons with medical training.
bYes, because one can independently perform some of the first-aid activities.
cNo, because penal liability may be imposed for any committed mistakes.

Why?

The photo shows wrecked cars, and after such a collision you must check whether anyone needs help. Everyone must assist a person facing an immediate threat to life or serious injury if they can do so without exposing themselves or others to the same danger. Medical qualifications are not required, as anyone can call emergency services and perform basic actions following the dispatcher's instructions. Fear of making a mistake alone does not justify doing nothing.
