    In germany, you need to take an 8 hour first aid course to get your driver’s license.

    It’s better than nothing, but it’s been 5 years for me and I’m not sure if I could still do it properly.

      Which is another reason why drivers licenses and the FA course should be repeated every few years.

      The amount of people who don’t understand road laws or misremember them is insane

        I fully agree. People seem to forget that they are controlling 1.5 tons of steel at a ridiculous speeds and can easily kill someone if they move their hand just a bit too far.

      And still my first aid teacher to get my German driver’s license said that the survival rate for people whose heart stops is worse in Germany than the US

      I don’t know maybe because I keep it fresh in my mind for my job but it’s really simple. If you look up emd cpr (proqa) instructions they give yoy very good simple steps to follow depending on how you answer.
