Ohio Drivers Ed Practice Exam

While it may seem like opening the hood fully would help you locate and address the source of a fire in the engine compartment, doing so can actually worsen the fire by providing more oxygen. The best course of action is to safely pull off the road and turn off the engine, then carefully open the hood just enough to see if the fire is small enough to be put out with an extinguisher. If not, leave the hood closed and evacuate the vehicle while calling for help. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
