Driving Lessons Gloucester- First Aid Knowledge Could Be Included In The Driving Test.

The Conservative MP, Will Quince is tabling a Bill this week that would compel learner drivers to attend a compulsory four hour practical first aid course presented by an approved driving instructor. This is intended to reduce the high level of death and serious injuries on the roads. It is thought that a majority of people would not feel confident enough to save a life at the scene of an accident. Apparently, just rolling an unconscious but breathing casualty onto their side and lifting their chin can be enough to save their life.
Such a qualification is nothing new on the Continent  where first aid is a compulsory part of driver training in countries including Germany where learners must attend a seven and a half hour first aid course and Switzerland where pupils are expected to have 10 hours of first aid training before they can pass their tests.
We fully support these measures at John Lowe Driving, and will make any changes necessary in our driving school to implement them. We will, of course, keep our loyal students up to date with any changes.
