Who must you always obey while driving?

• A. Police officer
• B. Other drivers
• C. Pedestrians
• D. Traffic signals

Answer: (A)

Always obey a police officer's directions because they have the authority to control traffic on the scene and their commands take precedence over other rules when given in the course of their duties. When an officer signals you to stop, proceed, or slow down, you must comply promptly and safely. This authority is essential for managing situations that affect public safety, and it overrides signals and signs because the officer is making decisions in real time to keep people on the road safe. So, even if a light is green or other drivers or pedestrians are present, follow the officer's instructions. If asked to pull over, reduce speed, use your turn signal, and move to a safe spot as directed.
