Revision question · Incidents, accidents and emergencies

An unconscious motorcyclist is in a safe area and emergency services have been called. You have checked that there is no life-threatening bleeding. What is the next assessment priority?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Check their airway is openThis was the right answer

Check the airway. Massive bleeding would need immediate control first. Follow the emergency call handler; remove a helmet only if essential and you are trained.
