Incidents Accidents And Emergencies Practice Questions

This topic prepares you for things going wrong: breakdowns, warning triangles, first aid at a crash scene, vehicle fires, and what information to exchange after a collision. First aid questions follow the DR ABC pattern and ask about bleeding, burns and casualties who are unconscious.

What the DVSA tests here

• First aid priorities at a crash scene: airway, breathing and circulation
• What to do and who to tell after a collision, with or without injuries
• Breakdowns: warning triangles, hazard lights and staying safe on fast roads

Practising this topic

There are 38 questions on incidents, accidents and emergencies in this practice bank, and every answer comes with an explanation so you can learn from your mistakes as you go. The motorcycle theory test blends every topic into a single 50-question paper — you need 43 correct answers to pass, so weak areas are quickly exposed. A good rule of thumb is to keep practising a topic until you clear it comfortably several times in a row.

In the run-up to test day

Riders tend to do best when book study and saddle time reinforce each other, so try to review this topic soon after a lesson or CBT session while the experience is fresh. The Highway Code remains the primary source for every answer, and the official questions rarely stray far from it. As test day approaches, move on to full 50-question mock papers under the 57-minute time limit — they show whether a topic genuinely holds up once it is mixed in with all the others.
