Feeling guilty-not stopping for biker down.

[Grahamm]

I've recently attended a "Biker Down" course run by Kent Fire and rescue (HIGHLY recommend BTW) and the first part is all about what to do if you are first on the scene of an RTC involving a motorcyclist.  The thing they stress a lot is your own safety, YOU are number one priority at any accident you come across.

Yep, I've been to a similar talk at the Ride it Right events at Haselmere Fire Station and the first rule is "DON'T become another casualty". There's no point in being in so much of a hurry to help someone else that you end up getting clobbered by a car coming around the bend who hasn't seen you!

Quick pop quiz for a Monday mornin, one question that was posed was "you arrive at the scene of an RTC, 2 people involved, one screeming at the top of their lungs, the other laying on the ground, silent, who do you go to first?"

The one who is silent. You know the one who is screaming is alive and breathing, the silent one may not be breathing or need CPR, so he gets priority. (Although, apparently, you're not supposed to tell the one who's screaming to "Shut the FOC UP!" )
