Away from a junction, an officer raises an arm vertically and you can stop safely. Unless directed elsewhere, where must you stop?

Always beside the officer, even if you must cross the stop line.

On two-way roads, beyond the officer.

Correct answer

Before the nearest stop line; if none exists, before the officer.

Before the nearest stop line, or immediately before the officer if none exists, under Annex I of the General Traffic Regulations. The officer may then direct you to another stopping place; obey those directions. Do not cross an existing stop line to stop beside the officer or stop beyond them.
