Why this chapter
If you are first at the scene of an accident you have duties – and on a motorcycle you are the least visible thing there. This chapter covers your duties, how to make the scene safe, what you need to know about an injured rider's helmet, and basic first aid. It is knowledge that saves lives long before the ambulance arrives.
