Are you a good driver?

Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

The only time you would remove a helmet would be to maintain the airway as it might hinder access to clear the mouth and extend the neck, or perform a jaw thrust.

Airway is paramount and would take precedent over any suspected trauma, neck etc.

I got 9/10 (was parked farther from a corner than I could have been).


9/10 I got the same one wrong


9/10 me too! How can you be too far away tho? Doesn't make any sense.

About the removing the helmet when a motorcyclist has crashed, I was given the advice not to remove it when I witnessed this actually happening over the telephone by emergency services but as he died anyway I wonder if I could have done more to help if it had been removed, I couldn't help him at all with the helmet on!


9/10 too same one wrong

But I knew the one about the Motor cyclists helmet as i brought up that question a couple of weeks ago on my first aid at work course. Prior to this course I had always been told the same as Niki

I thought the only time you’d remove the helmet would be if it’s a really good one… :?

I took the quiz and got 7/10. Not bad for someone that never trained to drive in the UK.

No questions about driving on the sidewalk, though... :lol: :lol:
