Practice Test 15
You witness an incident involving a car and a motorcycle. The car driver isn’t obviously injured but their skin has turned a grey colour, they’re sweating and their breathing is rapid and shallow. The motorcyclist is lying against the kerb with his helmet still on. He’s conscious but very dazed, bruised and shocked. You leave your own motorcycle standing on the road with the hazard warning lights on. You call the emergency services and stay with both people involved in the incident until the services arrive. You give your contact details to a police officer.

You’re taking a pillion passenger to collect their new motorcycle. The weather is fine, with a strong side wind. There’s a cyclist in front and the road surface is cracked, with areas of loose and crumbled tarmac. Further on, the traffic is heavier.
