A driver of an emergency vehicle or a bus on duty must always personally give aid and make the report, and may never continue driving even if the duty requires it.

緊急自動車や乗合自動車（バス）などで業務中の運転者は、その業務のため運転を続ける必要があっても、必ず自分で救護と報告を行わなければならず、運転を続けることはできない。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

Article 72(4) is an exception: drivers of emergency vehicles, vehicles carrying sick or injured people, buses, trolleybuses, and trams on duty may have another crew member handle the aid and the report, and keep driving.
