Question 6467
If a driver is facing a traffic officer with an arm raised vertically, what must the driver do?
- Stop, unless the driver cannot do so safely.
- Turn right or left when reaching the officer.
- Keep driving as normal; the signal applies only to pedestrians.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stop, unless the driver cannot do so safely.
An arm raised vertically requires everyone approaching the officer to stop, both drivers and pedestrians. Anyone who can no longer stop safely continues, for example because they are so close that braking hard would cause a rear-end collision.
