Why might a driver need to consider evacuation distance guidance from an emergency response guidebook rather than relying on their own judgment alone?

Pick an answer

1. Guidebooks are used only by hazmat-endorsed drivers, never applicable in a general roadside emergency situation, even though the manual describes a different procedure
2. Personal judgment alone is always sufficient for determining safe distance
3. Different materials require different safe distances, and a guidebook provides material-specific guidance responders rely on
4. Evacuation distance is always the same regardless of the material involved
