Can drivers start the fueling process and leave the fuel pump unattended because it is automated?

The correct response is that drivers must monitor the fueling process. This is essential for safety reasons. Even though many modern fuel pumps are automated, leaving the fueling process unattended can lead to dangerous situations such as spills, fires, or environmental hazards. Continuous monitoring allows drivers to respond promptly to any issues that may arise during the fueling process. Fueling should always be treated with caution, and being present at the pump ensures that drivers can take immediate action in case of malfunction or emergencies. Alertness during this critical phase helps maintain both the safety of the vehicle and the surrounding environment.
