Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Your car is stuck in a snowdrift on a rural road during a blizzard. You cannot see any buildings. What is the safest plan?
Correct answer: Stay in the car, run the engine only for short periods, and open a window a little.
Why
Your car gives shelter and is much easier for rescuers to find than a person on foot in blowing snow. Carbon monoxide has no smell, so short run times and a slightly open window are important. A winter survival kit with warm clothing, footwear, a shovel and high-energy food helps you wait safely.
