ENMoral provisions and Lithuanian law oblige people to provide first aid. It is important to know that first aid can help save lives. Many deaths could be avoided if the victim is helped before the medics arrive, because the first 10 minutes are the most important. These are the so-called atomic minutes. This is usually the time it takes for an ambulance to arrive or sooner. Time and urgency are of the essence in first aid. The aim of the article is to investigate the ability of drivers to provide first aid in the event of a car accident. The objectives are: to provide a theoretical overview of the importance of first aid in accidents; to investigate drivers‘ knowledge of first aid; to determine drivers‘ attitudes towards the quality of compulsory first aid training. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature, quantitative research - questionnaire survey, mathematical and graphical analysis of the obtained data. A quantitative study was carried out to investigate drivers‘ ability to provide first aid in the event of a car accident. The study was carried out between November 2022 and January 2023. A total of 118 respondents participated in the study, but 11 questionnaires were incomplete, so 107 questionnaires were evaluated for data processing. The participants were people who had obtained their driving licence no more than 5 years ago.Conclusions: Drivers of all types and categories of vehicles must acquire the knowledge and skills to provide first aid at the scene of an accident as part of their compulsory first aid training. The number of people killed in road accidents depends on the failure to provide timely first aid and on the indifference and lack of knowledge of others. Drivers’ knowledge of first aid is poor. Only half of the respondents would provide first aid in the event of an accident, the rest would not provide first aid due to fear of harm, inability to orientate themselves and lack of confidence in their own abilities. Respondents rate the quality of compulsory first aid courses as satisfactory. Keywords: the driver, first aid, the victim.
