I was led to believe you are under no obligation to help anybody but if you do begin to provide first aid at an accident scene then you are required to stay there until proper medical care arrives. Not sure if you can get in the shit for commencing and then stopping first aid or if it is just common courtesy.
The only reason would be if your life or a pedestrian/ bystander is placed in a life threating situation, unless you physically can not continue on applying first aid. Unsure about the obligation to stay, although informing the paramedics of what first aid you took would be the right thing to do.
