While you drive, smoke begins to come from under the hood of your car. What should you do first?
Smoke begins near blue A’s hood while A remains in the travel lane of a two-lane road.
Correct answer: Slow down, pull off the road, and switch off the ignition right away.
Why
If you have no chemical fire extinguisher, the handbook says that you can smother a small fire with sand or dirt, not water. If you cannot stop the fire or it gets out of control, move at least 100 feet away from the car. Keep your passengers away from the car and away from traffic.
