BDifficulty 1/5

A police vehicle positions itself behind you and activates a forward-facing flashing red light to order you to stop. What must you do?

Correct answer

Stop safely on the right, ahead of the police vehicle, and follow its instructions.

Stop with due precautions on the right, ahead of the police vehicle, where you do not create further risks or obstruction, and remain inside while following the officer’s instructions. Article 69 and Annex I section 1.2.e establish this. The instruction addresses the vehicle ahead of the police vehicle, rather than one following it. The current signal is red; do not confuse it with an amber warning beacon or immediately get out on your own initiative.
