What is the best advice if your car is stranded in a heavy snowstorm?

Seek immediate help and leave the car
Stay with your car
Turn on all vehicle lights and walk for help
Start driving to find help

The correct answer is: Stay with your car

Staying with your car in a heavy snowstorm is the best course of action because your vehicle serves as a shelter and a signal to rescuers. It is more visible than an individual, especially in poor visibility conditions, and it is safer than venturing out into dangerous weather. This provides you protection from the elements and keeps you in one discernible location, which enhances your chances of rescue. Moving away from the car increases the risk of getting lost or disoriented in the snow, which can lead to more serious situations. While seeking immediate help might seem urgent, it's critical to evaluate the dangers of doing so in severe weather conditions where travel can be perilous. By remaining with the vehicle, you can stay warm, conserve energy, and use the car’s resources, such as heat and interior space.
