Driving theory test to include CPR first aid questions

The UK's Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has announced that CPR and first aid questions will be included in the driving theory test starting in early 2026. Learner drivers are encouraged to learn basic life-saving skills like using a defibrillator to prevent avoidable deaths. The inclusion of these questions aims to equip drivers with the knowledge to respond effectively in emergencies, as they are often the first to encounter someone in need of assistance. Training materials now cover topics like defibrillator use and hands-only CPR, emphasizing the importance of acting swiftly and correctly in critical situations.
