While driving; the driver notices the vehicle temperature gauge showing red. What should they do?

Correct Answer

Stop in a safe place and have the problem investigated.

Explanation: Many vehicles are fitted with various warning lights and gauges. A warning light or a red zone on a temperature gauge means the engine is starting to overheat and the vehicle should not be driven until the problem is rectified. Refer to the vehicle handbook for further information and guidance or seek advice from a competent person.
