According to statistics, up to 46 per cent of road traffic fatalities could be prevented if the correct first aid assistance was available in those vital first moments.

Would you know what to do if you were unfortunate enough to be presented with such an incident?

The scheme is also being backed by the Association of Chief Police Officers, Association of Ambulance Chief Executives, Chief Fire Officers’ Association and the senior Traffic Commissioner for Great Britain.
