Practice question

What should you always do at intersections?

  1. Stop
  2. Look left and right
  3. Check your blind spot
  4. Accelerate

Answer: B — Look left and right

While all of the options may sometimes be necessary, the correct answer is to always look left and right at intersections. Stopping may not always be required depending on traffic signals or road signs, checking your blind spot is important but not always necessary at intersections, and accelerating would not be appropriate when other vehicles may be crossing your path. Looking both ways before proceeding is the safest practice at intersections to ensure no other vehicles or pedestrians are in your way.
