Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
You are driving with two passengers when smoke and flames appear from under the hood. You have pulled over and stopped. What should you do next?
Correct answer: Get everyone out and well away from the car at once, then call for help.
Why
The manual says most car fires start with a short circuit in the electrical system, and a fire can grow within seconds. Your only jobs are to get people out, move them well away from the car and from traffic, and call 911. Do not go back for belongings.
