Question 6696

If a traffic officer, from their vehicle, orders you to stop by switching on a device with a red light flashing toward the front, where must you stop?

  1. Where it does not create additional risks or inconvenience for other road users.
  2. On the right side of the roadway, behind the police vehicle.
  3. On the left side of the roadway, in front of the police vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Where it does not create additional risks or inconvenience for other road users.

The forward-facing flashing red light means the officer behind you is ordering you to stop. Stop on the right, in front of the police car, somewhere you will not create additional risks or inconvenience for others. Stopping on the left or behind the police vehicle does not comply with the order.
