If however someone that you are riding with is to have the accident, or you are just passing by a crash scene, then we have to act accordingly as this could save the life of another person.

If you are first on the scene, or nobody is taking control of the situation then its up to you to take immediate action.

Some of us may not know what the first step of action actually is, and if CPR is required then it is always useful to have a basic understanding of what is actually required.

In order to effectively learn how to perform CPR then it’s recommended that you attend a recognised first aid course.

For more information about first aid take the, BBC's First Aid Action Interactive Course.
