We can't expect everyone to be perfect, but come on, a bit of common sense isn't too much to ask for, right? It's common knowledge that using your phone or smoking while refuelling at a petrol station is not just risky but downright dangerous.
Yet, a local bus driver seemingly defied the odds by casually puffing away while refuelling his bus, presumably with passengers aboard. His nonchalant demeanour, cigarette in one hand and petrol pump nozzle in the other, was alarming.

Even after completing the refuelling, he strolled away while still smoking, oblivious to any wrongdoing. The No Smoking signs at gas pumps serve a crucial purpose: to prevent potential disasters caused by gasoline vapours, invisible to the naked eye.
The real danger lies in these vapours, making it imperative to switch off engines while refuelling.
In the comments section, netizens criticized the driver for his negligence, highlighting the risks not only to himself but also to those around him. Some argued that since he was refuelling with diesel, the risk of ignition was lower, sparking a debate on the dangers of fueling at a petrol station, regardless of the type of fuel used.
It's worth noting that while some diesel fuels are classified differently, this doesn't justify endangering others by flouting safety protocols at a gas pump.
