Milestones

We urge the Government to legislate to make first aid training a mandatory part of the driving test process. We believe new drivers should be equipped with basic life-saving skills to improve road safety and provide immediate help in emergencies.

Making first aid training mandatory for new drivers could equip thousands with life-saving skills, increasing the chances of survival after road accidents. With more trained individuals on the road, we believe emergency response times can be improved, potentially saving lives before paramedics arrive. We believe this policy could promote public safety, align with road safety goals, empower citizens to act in critical moments, and increase cardiac arrest survival rates.
