You come across a crash with injured people. What is the first thing to do?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Stop safely and switch on hazard lights
- Step 1: Make the scene safe first, so that you do not become a casualty. Step 2. Then call 112 and help. Answer: Stop safely and switch on hazard lights. Why not the others: Move the injured people at once to the verge: moving casualties can worsen their injuries. Take photographs of the scene before anything else: photographs do not help the injured. Drive on and report it from the next town: casualties may need urgent help.
