Practice question

If the traffic light turns yellow as you approach, you should:

  1. Speed up to cross the intersection
  2. Check for opposing traffic and proceed if safe
  3. Proceed with caution
  4. Slow down and prepare to stop

Answer: D — Slow down and prepare to stop

When the traffic light turns yellow, it means the signal is about to turn red and you should be prepared to stop. Choosing option A and speeding up can result in getting a ticket for running a red light. Option B may not be the safest choice as there may be other vehicles approaching from different directions. Option C may not be the best choice as caution does not guarantee complete safety. Option D, slowing down and preparing to stop, is the safest option as it allows you to come to a complete stop when the light turns red instead of crossing the intersection.
