BDifficulty 2/5

A police vehicle travels behind you and the officer activates a flashing or strobing red light facing forwards. What must you do?

Correct answer

Stop on the right, ahead of the police vehicle, and follow the officer’s instructions.

Stop on the right, ahead of the police vehicle, in a place where you do not create additional risks or inconvenience, and follow the officer’s loudspeaker instructions. Annex I, section 1.2.e, describes this signal as red; do not confuse it with an amber warning light or an instruction to make way for a priority vehicle.
