Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
You are stuck in slow traffic with the rear tailgate open to carry a long load. A passenger gets a headache, feels dizzy and seems confused. What should you do?
Correct answer: Turn off the engine, get out when safe, get the passenger fresh air, and call 911.
Why
Carbon monoxide can build up in or around a vehicle when a tailgate or trunk is open, the exhaust leaks, the body has holes, or the tailpipe is blocked by snow or debris. Idling in a garage is dangerous even with the garage door open. Early signs include headache, dizziness, nausea and confusion, so keep the exhaust system in good repair and act at the first sign.
