When the car ahead is waiting to enter the intersection, what should you do?

• A. Honk and go
• B. Stop immediately
• C. Speed up
• D. Slow and increase space

Answer: (D)

When the vehicle ahead is waiting to enter the intersection, you should slow down and increase the space between you and that vehicle. Slowing gives you more time to observe what they do, avoids crowding the intersection, and helps you stop safely if their movement changes or if the light changes. With a motorcycle, maintaining a larger following distance also improves your visibility and reaction time, reducing the chance of a sudden stop or collision. Honking and suddenly going, stopping abruptly, or speeding up all reduce safety by startling others or leaving you with less room to react.
