Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
You are stranded in severe cold and do not know a safe, nearby route to help. What is the safer plan?
Correct answer: Stay with the car, keep the exhaust clear, and ventilate.
Why
Stay with the vehicle unless you know exactly where you are and how far it is to help. Use warning signals, warm clothing and blankets. Keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow and debris, and use the engine and heater intermittently with ventilation rather than assuming an idling car is automatically safe. Keep at least one occupant awake and seek help.
