While driving; a driver notices a strong smell of fuel. What should they do?

  1. Stop where safe and investigate.
  2. Drive at a reduced speed.
  3. Open the windows and continue on.
  4. Turn on the fan to clear the air.

Correct Answer

Stop where safe and investigate.

Explanation: A strong smell of fuel is usually an indication that something is wrong; and drivers should stop and investigate as soon as possible. Leaking or spilling petrol can be dangerous because it is so combustible; and leaking diesel fuel can make the road very slippery.
