At a place with a stop sign, drivers did the following. Which one counts as a 'temporary stop' under the Road Traffic Act?
💡 Hint
A temporary stop means bringing the wheels to a 'complete' stop for a moment; if the wheels roll even slightly, it is only driving slowly, however slow (Article 2(28) and (30) of the Road Traffic Act). Distinguish actually stopping from merely slowing down a lot or having the brake lights come on.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 2(30) of the Road Traffic Act, a temporary stop means bringing the vehicle's wheels to a complete stop for a moment. If the wheels are still rolling at all, however slowly, it is only driving slowly (Article 2(28)), not a temporary stop. Merely flashing the brake lights and driving on is not a stop either.
