I try to find what could the driver be thinking to do this. The way the gas can is strapped in I would say she was concerned that the gas could fall over while driving and spill gas. Of course with the gas can like that, if full of gas and open then the risk of a splash out and over the driver would be serious if she were to jam the brakes on or have a wreck. The risk of being incinterated was of less concern than the risk of injuring her child in a driving incident. Maybe this was a suicide attempt giving her child a clear view of the event with the potential of her child escaping by not being strapped in. Such a quandary! Dangerous gas can and a child in the car. Hauling gas for the lawn mower and could not leave the child at home ….maybe no one to leave the child with while going for gas and no-where to put the gas can safely while traveling. Interesting problem. I have had a similar problem when getting gas. My car has no tie-down in the trunk. Anything in the trunk rolls around wildly if unsecured. So I often put my gas can on the floor in the back seat ares and screw the top down tightly. Not easy to do because the gas cans are so cheap that they often leak even with the top on tightly. Propane valves close tightly and seems less risky but in the trunk, rolling about in any turn or stop to crash into whatever is there or denting the car finders. such a problem.

I would never do what she had set-up. I have traveled with lots of personal hazards...alone. Dynamite, fuses, blasting caps, gasoline, naphtha, Nitric acid in gallon jars, Sulphuric acid, and a few hundred pounds of tech-t( a plastic explosive) and 200 pounds of other bagged explosives...all that and more, more than once while mining for gold 40 years ago. Drive safe, avoid traffic, travel below the speed limit, no drugs or drinking, no smoking and pad everything. Never had a problem.
