If there is a fire in a tunnel, the driver must move the vehicle to the right, switch off the engine and leave the doors open. Moving over means the vehicle does not block emergency vehicles that may arrive. It is also important that the driver and occupants leave the vehicle quickly and go to the nearest exit, because staying inside can be dangerous because of the fire and smoke.
