First aid, emergencies and accident procedure & Sharing the road: pedestrians, motorcyclists, heavy vehicles and animals
Describe the correct sequence at an accident scene: protect the scene, check for danger, call emergency services, then give assistance
Explain how to place a warning triangle, use hazard lights and give the location to the emergency operator
Describe basic first aid for bleeding, unconscious casualties, burns and suspected spinal injury, and when not to move a casualty
List the rules for sharing the road with pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, heavy vehicles and animals, including blind spots and turning conflicts
Your checkpoint

Complete three full-length timed mock exams under test conditions and record the score for each
Review every incorrect answer and assign it to its domain, then re-study the two weakest domains
Re-test the two weakest domains until each scores at 90% or better
Rehearse the sign and marking cheat sheet and the emergency flowchart from memory
Your checkpoint
Three completed mock exams with scores recorded, a list of weak areas, and a final re-test of the two weakest domains at 90% or better
Milestones
Week 2: Domain 1 self-test at 85% or better; junction walkthrough completed with correct priority in all five scenarios
Week 4: Domain 2 self-test at 85% or better; hazard log of 15 scenes completed with a justified response for each
Week 6: Domains 3 and 4 self-tests at 85% or better; speed and overtaking summary table verified against the official handbook
