YES. I took a basic CPR class and learned the same thing. Some weeks after my class, there was a big car accident in a busy intersection right out in front of my house. Luckily, I didn't need to use CPR or anything; but, it was a pretty good smash up. I was first on the scene and immediately went to check on the driver. Others ran out into the street; but, just kind of stood around looking like they didn't know what to do. So, I pointed at one man and said, "YOU. You call 911 and tell them there's an accident at 4th and Ximeno." I pointed at another man and said, "YOU. You stand there in the intersection and help direct traffic around the accident." And another, "YOU. You stand there and signal the ambulance when it arrives."
Worked like a charm.
