Decision workshop · Signs & traffic lights

Reason from the conditions, not from a memorised answer. Read the scene, choose, then open the explanation. The drawing is illustrative; the written conditions control the question.

The light turns steady amber. You can stop normally before the line, but the driver behind is close. What should you do?

Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer: C · Stop with controlled braking and watch the following vehicle.

Steady amber requires stopping unless you are too close to stop safely when it appears. Here normal stopping is explicitly possible. A close follower is a reason for controlled braking, not automatic permission to continue.

3. What changes if the situation changes?

If amber appears too late for a safe stop, its stopping exception may apply. This is assessed when the light appears, not after accelerating toward it.
