When an accident happens, the first people on the scene aren't doctors; they are other drivers. The "Good Samaritan" laws in most regions are designed to protect these bystanders from legal liability if they provide reasonable assistance. This creates a "safety net of strangers" that is vital to road survival.
However, many drivers hesitate to help for fear of "doing the wrong thing." Education on basic traffic first aid—such as how to safely move a vehicle or apply pressure to a wound while waiting for EMS—should be as standard as the driving test itself. The road is a community, and our willingness to look out for the "other driver" in their moment of crisis is the ultimate measure of a civil society.
