First Aid, Crash Response and Accident Duties
Legal duties after a crash
This domain tests what you must do, not just what you feel like doing. After a crash, stop, protect the scene, assist the injured, exchange details, and report to the police when required. Leaving the scene is a serious offence. Do not move an injured person unless there is immediate danger such as fire or traffic.
First aid basics
Make the scene safe, then call emergency services. In Cambodia, police are 117, ambulance 119 and fire 118. Check responsiveness and breathing. Control severe bleeding with direct pressure. Do not give food or drink to an injured person. Do not remove a motorcycle helmet unless it is necessary to clear the airway or provide life-saving aid; removing it can worsen a neck injury.
Worked example
You collide with a pedestrian who is lying in the road. Reasoning: stop, switch on hazard lights if available, warn traffic, call 119 and 117, check breathing and bleeding, and keep the person still. Do not ride away to “get help” if that leaves the scene unmanaged.
Traps that cost marks
Fleeing the scene; moving a suspected spinal injury; removing a helmet routinely; giving water to an unconscious person; and failing to report. The exam rewards scene safety, emergency calls and non-movement of the injured.
Exam focus
Expect questions on stop-and-assist duties, emergency numbers, bleeding control, helmet removal, scene protection and reporting obligations.
