Question 5472

If a traffic police motorcycle pulls in behind you and turns on a device with a red flashing light directed forward, what must you do?

  1. Stop on the left side of the roadway, in front of the police vehicle.
  2. Stop on the right side of the roadway, in front of the police vehicle.
  3. Slow down and move over to the right to make it easier for it to pass.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Stop on the right side of the roadway, in front of the police vehicle.

The motorcycle’s forward-facing flashing red light orders you to stop. Stop on the right side of the roadway, in front of the police vehicle, as the gray passenger car in the image has done, and follow the officer’s instructions. Moving over to let the motorcycle pass is what you do when it is only using its blue lights and siren.
