How should a driver react if smoke begins billowing from underneath the vehicle engine hood?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Pull over safely, switch off ignition, evacuate passengers, and call 112
- Step 1: Engine compartment fire response. Step 2. Stop in a safe open spot, shut off engine, get everyone out away from the car, call emergency services (112), and use fire extinguisher at base of hood gap. Answer: Pull over safely, switch off ignition, evacuate passengers, and call 112. Why not the others: Opening hood feeds oxygen turning smoldering into fireball; driving feeds air; water on electrical/fuel fires can spread flames.
