Correct answer
Switch off the engine, leave key and doors as required and evacuate to the nearest refuge or exit away from the fire.
Move the vehicle as far right as possible to allow emergency access, switch off the engine and leave the key in place and doors open. All occupants, including the driver, must leave and go quickly to the nearest refuge or exit in the direction away from the fire. Do not walk on the carriageway when areas excluded from vehicle traffic exist. Follow tunnel and emergency-service instructions. A fire differs from a traffic stop, for which the rule is to remain in the vehicle.
