Passing target: 80% (24/30)
Your car hits a utility pole, and a power line falls across the car. The car is not on fire. What should you do?
A fallen wire lies across the car after a crash, with no visible fire or smoke. Nobody exits or touches the wire, and the question gives no emergency instruction.
Correct answer: Stay inside the car, call 911, and wait for help
Why
The inside of the car is usually the safest place when a live wire touches it, because your body is not a path to the ground. If fire forces you out, jump from the car with your feet together, and do not touch the car and the ground at the same time. Then shuffle your feet as you move away.
