  1. Q1. You are involved in an accident where someone is injured. What must you do?

    1. A. Drive to the nearest hospital immediately
    2. B. Stop, give your name and address (and the vehicle owner's if different) to anyone with reasonable grounds to require it, and report to the police within 24 hours Correct answer
    3. C. Only call 999 from a phone box
    4. D. Leave if no one else stopped

    Explanation. In an accident involving injury, you must stop, give your details and, if you do not give details to a police officer at the scene, report the accident to police within 24 hours.

  2. Q2. You arrive at the scene of an accident and someone is unconscious. What should you do first?

    1. A. Move them to the pavement
    2. B. Call or ensure 999 has been called, do not move them unless there is immediate danger, and place them in the recovery position if breathing Correct answer
    3. C. Perform chest compressions immediately
    4. D. Look for ID in their pockets

    Explanation. In a first aid situation, calling 999 is the priority. Do not move a casualty unless they are in immediate danger. If unconscious but breathing, place them in the recovery position.

  3. Q3. A casualty is not breathing following an accident. What should you do?

    1. A. Place them in the recovery position
    2. B. Begin CPR (chest compressions) and if trained, rescue breaths Correct answer
    3. C. Give them water
    4. D. Leave them in their vehicle

    Explanation. If a casualty is unresponsive and not breathing normally, start CPR (30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths) and do not stop until emergency services arrive.

  4. Q4. What is the purpose of the recovery position?

    1. A. To keep the casualty comfortable
    2. B. To keep the airway open and prevent choking on fluids in an unconscious but breathing casualty Correct answer
    3. C. To immobilise a broken limb
    4. D. To apply pressure to a wound

    Explanation. The recovery position keeps an unconscious person's airway open and ensures that if they vomit, fluids drain away rather than causing choking.

  5. Q5. You see a vehicle on fire following a crash. What should you do?

    1. A. Attempt to rescue the occupants immediately
    2. B. Keep everyone at least 15 m from the vehicle, call 999 and only attempt rescue if it can be done quickly and safely without risk to yourself Correct answer
    3. C. Attempt to extinguish the fire with your own extinguisher
    4. D. Turn off your own engine and wait

    Explanation. A vehicle fire is extremely dangerous — fuel tanks can explode. Keep people well clear, call 999 and only attempt rescue if it is safe to do so. Your safety matters too.

  6. Q6. At an accident scene, a casualty has a deep cut that is bleeding badly. What should you do?

    1. A. Apply a tourniquet above the wound
    2. B. Apply firm, direct pressure to the wound, preferably with a pad, and maintain it Correct answer
    3. C. Wash the wound with water
    4. D. Remove any object embedded in the wound

    Explanation. Firm, continuous direct pressure on a bleeding wound is the most effective first aid measure. Do not remove an embedded object. Maintain pressure until medical help arrives.

  7. Q7. If a crash happens and you are not involved, you should:

    1. A. Slow down and gawk at the scene
    2. B. Stop only if it is safe and you can genuinely help; otherwise call 999 if no one else has Correct answer
    3. C. Always stop regardless of traffic conditions
    4. D. Drive past — others will call for help

    Explanation. If you can help safely, stop. Always ensure the emergency services have been called (999). Do not stop if it creates further danger.

  8. Q8. What action should you take if you accidentally hit an unattended parked vehicle?

    2. B. Leave a note with your details on the vehicle and report the incident to the police within 24 hours Correct answer
    3. C. Only report it if there is obvious serious damage

    Explanation. You must either find the owner or leave details on the vehicle. If you cannot contact the owner, report the incident to the police within 24 hours.

  9. Q9. You suspect a casualty has broken their neck. What is the most important thing to do?

    1. A. Move them immediately to a safe area
    2. B. Do not move them unless there is a life-threatening danger; support the head and neck if you must move them Correct answer
    3. C. Straighten their neck gently
    4. D. Help them to sit up

    Explanation. A suspected spinal injury must be treated with extreme care. Only move if there is immediate life-threatening danger. Support the head and neck to prevent movement.

    1. A. 30–40
    2. B. 60–80
    3. C. 100–120 Correct answer

    3. C. Always, to make them more comfortable
    4. D. Only if they ask you to

    3. C. Administer first aid immediately before calling for help
    4. D. Only call for help — do not touch the injured

    Explanation. The correct sequence is: ensure scene safety (stop further accidents), call 999, then provide first aid. Never put yourself in danger to help others.

  13. Q13. A vehicle is leaking fuel after an accident. What should you do?

    1. A. Light a flare to signal for help
