If you are preparing to obtain a driver's license or want to renew it (e.g., after losing the right to drive), you should know that First Aid skills and the certificate received after training are an integral part of this driver training process.
The First Aid training certificate for future drivers is required not only in Lithuania but also in many other European countries. According to the order No. V-69 of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Lithuania dated January 28, 2008 (latest valid edition), every person who wants to become a driver must obtain a First Aid certificate and present it when arriving at the Regitra examination center to take the theory exam. If you do not have this document, you will not be allowed to take the theory exam, so make sure to arrange it in advance!
Why are First Aid courses necessary for drivers?
1. Quick help during accidents: Accidents can happen anytime on the road, and emergency services may take time to arrive. A driver with First Aid knowledge can provide life-saving assistance to the injured until professional medics arrive. This may include essential actions such as stopping bleeding or performing resuscitation (CPR).
2. Saving lives: Early and proper First Aid can save lives, especially in cases where the injured person has serious injuries or bleeding. Correctly provided assistance before the arrival of medics can increase survival chances.
3. Increasing road safety: Drivers who know how to respond properly during an accident create a safer environment on the road. They can more effectively assess the situation and quickly take necessary actions, helping to avoid additional accidents or other dangers.
4. Legal requirement: In many countries, including Lithuania, First Aid knowledge is mandatory to obtain a driver's license. This is an important part of driver training to ensure that all road users are prepared for emergency situations.
5. Developing awareness and responsibility: First Aid courses encourage drivers to be more conscious and responsible participants on the road. They learn not only how to act during an accident but also how to properly prepare for possible emergencies, such as having a necessary first aid kit in the car.
6. Stress management in extreme situations: First Aid courses teach how to remain calm in stressful situations and make decisions that can be crucial. This helps drivers respond more effectively to critical events.
In summary, First Aid courses for drivers are essential to ensure safety on the road, help save lives, and be prepared for emergencies. It is not only a legal requirement but also an important measure that can make the road safer for all traffic participants.
