You can stop safely when approaching an officer holding their arm vertically upwards. There is no stop line, the officer is outside a junction and does not indicate another place. Where must you stop?

Correct answer

Immediately before the officer.

Immediately before the officer. A vertically raised arm orders approaching road users to stop, except where they cannot do so safely enough. The general rule requires stopping at the nearest stop line or, if none exists, immediately before the officer; at a junction, stop before entering it. Also obey any stopping place the officer subsequently indicates.
