TRUE – If TOLD to get Out of the car that is an instruction. If invited or asked, that is a request which you do NOT have to abide by.

Am i misunderstanding?

[RonaldMcBurger]

My mistake. It was 1 am and I misread my own wording! The answer is FALSE because you DO have to get out if TOLD. If invited you do not have to.
