In Norwegian road safety and vehicle operation, what deadly risk arises if a car gets stuck in snowdrifts and the engine is kept running with the exhaust pipe buried in snow?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Fatal carbon monoxide (CO) gas enters cabin
- Step 1: If the tailpipe is obstructed by snow, deadly odorless carbon monoxide gas penetrates the vehicle floorpan and cabin, asphyxiating occupants. Answer: Fatal carbon monoxide (CO) gas enters cabin. Why not the others: the alternative options do not accurately reflect vehicle safety standards, statutory requirements, or physical mechanics under Norwegian road regulations.
