BDifficulty 2/5

If a traffic police vehicle positions itself behind you and switches on a device showing a flashing red light to the front, what should you do?

Correct answer

Stop and, if applicable, follow the officer's instructions.

Stop on the right, ahead of the police vehicle, in a place that does not create greater risks or obstruction, and follow officer instructions. The forward-facing flashing red light orders the vehicle ahead to stop; it is not merely a request to let the police vehicle pass. Stop safely.
