A trained ‘first responder’ for road crashes and so on…
truckingtopics.co.uk/driverfirstassis.html
Call me cynical but, is this just yet another way to fleece us of even more money 
Most ‘Professional’ HGV drivers would act as a ‘First Responder’ without having to pay for it.
I’ve got nothing against training, 1st Aid is very useful, but I’ve been offered a Biker Down Course (on the same lines as the rip off course above) for free.
Do these people take us for Idiots.
How nice you get to pay £95 + £20 registration fee + refresher courses @ £■■? then you get a Nice Shiny New Hi Viz & a 1st aid Kit (which most people carry anyway)
Wait a minute 
I’m gonna run a course on ‘How to Wipe Your Arse’
just send your £95 course fee + £20 admin fee + £20 equipment fee (for Bog Rolls) + £20 joining fee + £95 refresher fee to-
Viking Industries.

Jeez wot a load of Muppets’shire’

‘This time next year, I’m gonna be a Millionair’ 
Good point, well made!
Its a good idea in principle, however it’s the customers of haulage firms that would have to be convinced. Tell me if Tosco would accept late loads because the driver was attending an accident.
The best way to get this project off the ground would be to promote it to the large supermarket chains and allow them to use the fact that they support it in their advertising.
p.s. It may even help prevent accidents if well enough promoted, our friends the car drivers would surely slow down a bit rather than risk getting mouth to mouth from us hated “fat hairy truckers”. 
good idea if it was government funded and free for us to do maybe even bribe us with a free 7 hours of CPC training as well otherwise whats the point we might as well fill in pot holes and paint white lines on the road while we’re at it
And how I was treated the last few times I stopped at an accident I don’t think i’ll make a habit of doing so. They was more interested at collected my details and telling me to ■■■■ off then they was interested in the guy laying on the floor(after they worked out I didn’t cause it and turned up later to help as no one else stoped)
There are already dcpc first aid courses for much less than that !
I know this doesn’t have the DCPC overhead, and is obviously subsidised from somewhere, but it’s 1/3 the price

Dear Sir
I read your advertisement with interest and I am presently considering signing up for the course. I would,however, be obliged if you would confirm one or two details regarding the content. Does the course cover the frequently encountered emergency situation arising from a lack of Bog Roll?? Obviously,although quite competent at wiping my arse, my boss feels that I would benefit from further training to cover this possibility which would also reduce his overheads (or should that be underarses?).
Yours Faithfully

Dear Sir.
The Andrex Puppies (who are running the course) have agreed to include a module covering the Lack of Bogroll Situation. As they are experts at producing this phenomenon by running all over the house pulling miles of Toilet Roll behind them, they feel that they have the relevant qualifications to fulfil this requirement.
We will require an extra £250.31p for this extra module. £50 for the extra administration, £200 Rip off Tax & 31p for a new Ball (that we lost last week over the park)
Your Faithfully.
Mr Dan-Gleberry.
