Question: When approaching a yellow traffic light, you should:
Answer options:
- Speed up to beat it ✅ Stop if you can do so safely
- Always stop immediately
- Honk and continue
Correct answer: Stop if you can do so safely
Explanation: Under Ontarios Highway Traffic Act, a yellow signal means the light is about to turn red and drivers must stop unless they cannot do so safely. Stopping if safe is correct because it prevents intersection collisions while avoiding rear end crashes caused by sudden braking. Speeding up is illegal and dangerous, whereas always stopping immediately, even when too close to the intersection, risks rear-end collisions. Honking and continuing ignores vital traffic control. Expect to see this fundamental defensive driving concept on the G1 knowledge exam to test safe intersection navigation.
