When the emergency services answer, what should you tell them first?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Your location, what happened, and number hurt
- Step 1: They need your location and the seriousness. Step 2. Give clear answers and follow instructions. Answer: Your location, what happened, and number hurt. Why not the others: Your age and where you live: this does not help them reach the scene. The make and colour of your car: this is not the first thing they need. Who you think is to blame for the crash: blame is irrelevant to the first response.
