You were waiting at the stop line and the light has just turned green, but car A on the road to your left is approaching the intersection without slowing down. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is at the stop line in lane 1 and wants to go straight
- The light has just turned green
- Car A on the road to the left is approaching the intersection without slowing down
💡 Hint
A green light means you may proceed; it does not guarantee safety inside the intersection, and drivers must drive in a way that does not endanger others in light of road conditions (Article 48(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Judge when to start by looking at car A's speed and position in the picture.
Answer: ②, ⑤
Explanation
A green light means you may proceed, not that it is safe; you must drive in a way that does not endanger others given the road conditions (Road Traffic Act Article 48(1)). Right after the signal changes, a late car like A may still come through, so look left and right and check car A before moving off. Starting immediately because it is green, or honking and accelerating hard, risks a side collision.
