A vehicle fueling safety system, device and method precludes inadvertent premature departure of a vehicle from a fueling station having a fuel dispenser, as a result of an action by an inattentive or distracted driver of the vehicle during an ongoing fueling operation by placing a visual warning indicator in the line-of-sight of the driver when the driver is in a driving position in the vehicle during the ongoing fueling operation. The indicator reminds the driver not to move the vehicle until the indicator is removed, indicating that fueling is complete and it is safe to move the vehicle. A further feature places the indicator at an inactive location remote from the line-of-sight, when not in use, and a disabling arrangement is responsive to such placement for disabling the fuel dispenser to preclude the dispensing of fuel when the indicator is at the inactive location.
