5% of deaths caused by road accidents occur in the first few minutes after a crash. Up to 85% of these deaths could be prevented if first aid was given.

The first person on the scene of an accident will almost certainly be another road user. So as a driver your knowledge of first aid could make a real difference to someone in the event of a road accident.

Make safe: Make sure you stay safe: ①keep off the road. If you need to stop coming cars, signal to them from the pavement(人行道). Wear fluorescent reflective(荧光反射) clothing, flashing lights, etc. Don’t smoke!

*If you are in a car and you come across an accident, first park safely and turn off the engine before you get out to help.

Call for help: Dial 999 (or ②112) for the emergency services. If there is no phone nearby, ask help and send two people ③in opposite directions. Remain calm.

Do not allow smoking or offer food or drink to casualties(伤亡人员) as this could hamper(妨碍) medical treatment.

Calling 999 (112): Do this as soon as you can or get someone else to do it. You will need to tell the emergency services:

·where you are

·what has happened (describe the accident)

·how many people are injured(受伤)

·whether they are breathing(呼吸) or bleeding(流血).

Then you will know what to do while you wait for an ambulance to arrive.
