Your car stalls on a railroad crossing. You look both ways and see a train coming toward the crossing. What should you do?
A is stalled on a railroad track as a locomotive approaches from the left. No person or escape route is outside the car in the question.
Correct answer: Get everyone out at once and go well away from the tracks to a safe place.
Why
A train cannot stop quickly or steer away from a car on the tracks. When a train is coming, get all occupants out and move well away from the tracks at once; a car can be replaced, but people cannot. To prevent this danger, do not start across a crossing until there is room for your whole vehicle on the far side.
