Right after I pulled into a pump I noticed that right next to where I&#8217;d stopped was a driverless SUV (not even anyone standing around it) with a fuel nozzle hanging out the side, pouring gas all over the ground.<\/p>\n<p>As the SUV also appeared to be running, I let my desire not to be in a gas station fire override my desire to purchase fuel and pulled away, but not before taking a photo. Right as I was pulling my phone out the woman who owned the SUV ran out of the 7-11 and shut off the fuel flow, before running back inside.<\/p>\n<p>My understanding is that there is a state law prohibiting one from leaving the fuel pump unattended while it is operating, but I&#8217;m having a really difficult time finding it.
