You drive toward an intersection. The light turns steady amber. You can stop safely. What must you do?

  1. Speed up to cross before it turns red
  2. Slow down and drive through with care
  3. Stop, as you would for a red light
  4. Stop only if other cars are close
Show answer

Correct answer: Stop, as you would for a red light

A steady amber light tells you to stop, as for a red light, unless it is not safe to stop. Do not speed up to beat the red light.
