After a crash, a power line lies across your vehicle. There is no fire or other immediate danger inside. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stay inside and wait for emergency responders.
Why
Stay inside and call for emergency assistance when a power line contacts the car and there is no immediate need to escape. If fire makes escape essential, jump clear without touching the car and ground at the same time, land with feet together, and shuffle or hop away as the handbook directs. Do not touch the wire or allow others to approach.
