Question 6701

If a traffic police motorcycle turns on a flashing red light behind your vehicle, where must you stop?

  1. Where it does not create greater 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 greater risks or inconvenience for other road users.

The motorcycle’s flashing red light is an order to stop. Stop on the right, in front of the motorcycle, somewhere you will not create additional risks or inconvenience, like the blue passenger car in the image, which has stopped at the right edge of the road. Stopping behind the motorcycle or on the left does not comply with the order.
