Practice question

What should you do when you approach a red light?

  1. Come to a complete stop
  2. Go through if no other vehicle is present
  3. Speed up
  4. Slow down

Answer: A — Come to a complete stop

Approaching a red light means that you should prepare to come to a complete stop. This is because red lights signal that it is time for vehicles to stop and allow other vehicles to pass or pedestrians to cross. Going through the red light or speeding up are both dangerous and illegal, and can result in accidents or injuries. Slowing down may not be enough to ensure safety at a red light, so it is important to follow the rules of the road and come to a complete stop.
