Good idea to include it as part of license imo, stump up some extra cash and it goes to St. Johns or whatever, everyone wins.

I know basic first aid, but I think what was said that you never forget the basics is very wrong. It's easy enough to think you remember, but sometimes it's the little details that count. Everyone should be taught the basics though I am firm believer.

For example, the other day my friend witnessed a crash, cyclist thrown over car and unconscious. Everyone was panicing, and my friend was the only one calm enough to do anything. Checked for breathing, all okay, so in this instance, the best thing to do is call ambulance, keep them warm and keep checking they are breathing.
Everyone around her however were screaming and crying and telling her to put him in the recovery position. In this instance, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. If he is breathing, why move him? Especially as there could be spinal damage.
Then they yap on about him swallowing his toungue etc (myth). It's worrying because although these people think they are doing the best thing, god forbid if I was ever in a crash I wouldn't want them anywhere near me as they are likely to do more harm than good.
