Driver confused about car's gas tank location.




Many people don't know that there is often an arrow on your car's dashboard pointing to the side that the gas tank is on. However, I don't think that would've helped this person.

I question the wisdom of letting that person actually drive on public roads.

She looked more confused as to how to get the left side of the car to the pump.
And yes some of these hapless persons really should not be attempting to drive a vehicle without supervision.

She has the trigger locked in full flow and too ignorant to give it a quick squeeze so it will release and too stupid to realize she can use her hand at the pump to push down the at rest switch where the nozzle goes to shut off the pump. I'm quite sure the gas flow will stop once it maxes out her credit card
She could also push the nozzle against the ground and the back pressure would automatically trip the trigger

Costco says they have it covered.

With the gas lines at Costco, you gotta take the pump you get not the one you need. And I'll admit I was in my 50's before I got clued into the arrow on the gas gauge...

There's a gas gauge?

Same genre, but this motorist is looking for a gas tank on an electric car.

Drivers training or drivers ed needs to have a few things put back in the curriculum how to locate the spare and jack ( yes I know many new vehicles don't even have a spare anymore but how to properly place the jakc under the vehicle how to remove and install lug nuts the proper tightening sequence and why retightening after a few miles is important.
they need to be taught how to locate and fill a vehicle with fuel and to know which fuel is for what type of vehicles. Why it is important to do a walk around their vehicle before getting in and driving off also to check the lights condition of the tires. How to check the fluid levels under the hood how to know if the belt Not many still have more than 1 or 2 belts and almost everything has serpentine now and most anyone should be able to change one on the road side with 1 wrench or ratchet small break over bar or some with nothing more than a heavy duty screw driver most vehicles even have a placard showing the routing of the belt. and one should be carried somewhere in every vehicle.
And no they don't need an app on their phone for any of these unless it includes a check list reminder before the stupid thing will even start.
