Practice question

You are coming to an intersection with a flashing red light. You should:

  1. Slow down and yield the right-of-way
  2. Slow down and drive carefully
  3. Come to a complete stop, check the traffic and go on when it is safe
  4. Speed up and cross quickly

Answer: C — Come to a complete stop, check the traffic and go on when it is safe

When approaching an intersection with a flashing red light, it is important to treat it as a stop sign. This means coming to a complete stop, checking for traffic, and only proceeding when it is safe to do so. This is because a flashing red light in this context indicates that drivers must stop and proceed as if they are facing a stop sign. It is crucial to ensure the intersection is clear before moving through it to prevent accidents and ensure safe driving practices.
