Select one answer A Press firmly between their shoulders B Place their arms by their side C Check their airway remains open D Give them a hot sweet drink

What should you do if you have to stop while you're going through a congested tunnel?

Select one answer A Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front B Pull up very close to the vehicle in front to save space C Ignore any message signs, as they're never up to date D Make a U-turn and find another route

It’s important to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front at all times. This still applies in congested tunnels, even if you're moving very slowly or have stopped. If the vehicle in front breaks down, you may need room to manoeuvre past it.

Select one answer A Open their airway B Roll them onto their side C Shake them firmly D Put their arms across their chest

There's been a collision. A motorcyclist is lying injured and unconscious. Why should you only remove their helmet if it’s essential?

Select one answer A You could scratch the helmet as you remove it B They might not want you to remove it C Removing it could make any injuries worse D Removing it could let them get cold

When someone is injured, any movement that’s not absolutely necessary should be avoided, since it could make the injuries worse. Unless it's essential to remove a motorcyclist's helmet, it’s generally safer to leave it in place.

Select one answer A 60 times per minute B 10 times per minute C 240 times per minute D 120 times per minute

If a casualty is not breathing normally, CPR may be needed to maintain circulation. Place 2 hands on the centre of the chest and press down hard and fast – around 5 to 6 centimetres and about twice a second.

An injured motorcyclist is lying unconscious in the road. The traffic has stopped and there's no further danger. What could you do to help?

Select one answer A Seek medical assistance B Remove their leather jacket C Move the person off the road D Remove their safety helmet

What should you do if your vehicle catches fire while you're driving through a tunnel?

Select one answer A Drive it out of the tunnel if it's safe to do so B Park it away from the carriageway C Pull up, then walk to an emergency telephone D Leave it where it is, with the engine running

If it’s possible, and you can do so without causing further danger, it may be safer to drive a vehicle that's on fire out of a tunnel. The greatest danger in a tunnel fire is smoke and suffocation.
