C1Difficulty 3/5

A police vehicle signalling its presence follows yours and emits a forward-facing flashing red light ordering you to stop. What should you do?

Correct answer

Stop carefully on the right, ahead of the police vehicle, and remain inside following instructions.

Stop carefully on the right, ahead of the police vehicle, where you do not create greater risks or disturbance, and remain inside following the officer’s instructions. It does not mean braking abruptly wherever you are. The order targets the vehicle ahead of the police vehicle and differs from the meaning and exceptions of a raised arm controlling a junction.
