What should a driver do at a stop sign?

  1. Slow down and proceed if clear

  2. Stop, look, and then proceed

  3. Only stop if there is traffic

  4. Ignore it if other cars are not stopping

The correct answer is: Stop, look, and then proceed

At a stop sign, the correct action for a driver is to stop, look, and then proceed. This requirement emphasizes the necessity of coming to a full stop at the designated line or intersection and assessing the traffic situation before continuing. Stopping allows the driver to ensure it is safe to proceed, accounting for any incoming vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists. Failing to stop properly could lead to serious traffic accidents and legal penalties. It's crucial for all drivers to follow this rule to maintain safety on the roads. While other responses may suggest alternatives, they do not meet the legal obligation to stop at a stop sign and neglect the importance of thorough observation before making a decision to proceed.
