What should you do when a law enforcement officer is directing traffic?

  1. Continue without stopping

  2. Ignore the officer's signals

  3. Stop on your own accord

  4. Wait on their signal

The correct answer is: Wait on their signal

Drivers should always follow the directions of law enforcement officers, especially when they are directing traffic. This is to ensure the safety of all those involved and to help improve the flow of traffic. Continuing without stopping or ignoring the officer's signals can lead to serious accidents and danger to both the driver and others. While stopping on your own accord may seem like a safe option, it can disrupt the flow of traffic and potentially put other drivers in danger. Therefore, it is important to wait for the officer's signal before proceeding. It is always best to follow the guidance of those who are trained to handle and direct traffic.
