Accident Procedures, Emergency Response, and First Aid
What this domain tests
This domain tests the first actions after a crash: protect the scene, call for help, and give basic first aid without making injuries worse.
Immediate steps
- Stop and switch off engines. Put on hazard lights or place a warning triangle if it is safe.
- Call police on 100 and ambulance on 102. Give the location, number of casualties, and whether anyone is trapped.
- Do not move an injured rider unless there is fire, traffic, or another immediate danger. Do not remove a helmet unless the airway is blocked.
- Check breathing. If the casualty is not breathing and you are trained, start CPR.
- Control bleeding with firm pressure using a clean cloth. Keep the casualty warm and calm.
- Exchange name, address, licence, and insurance details with the other party. Report the crash to the police.
Worked example
A rider is lying on the road after a fall and bleeding from the arm. The correct action is to check that the scene is safe, call 102, apply pressure to the wound, and keep the rider still. Reasoning: moving a suspected spinal injury can cause paralysis; bleeding control is urgent.
Traps that cost marks
Dragging a casualty clear, giving water to an unconscious person, and leaving without reporting are common errors. Crowding the casualty and removing a helmet unnecessarily also cause harm.
