You approach an intersection on a green light. A car on the cross street moves quickly toward its red light, and you are not sure that the driver will stop. What does defensive driving tell you to do?
Blue A approaches an intersection on green, and silver B approaches from the north toward its red light. Both cars remain before their respective stop lines. Labelled signal details map each control to its car. The question gives B’s quick approach but depicts no completed red-light violation, chosen escape path or sudden stop.
Correct answer: Ease off the gas, cover the brake, and plan where you can go if the car does not stop.
Why
Defensive drivers stay alert, keep their eyes moving and look for trouble that develops all around them. They do not trust that others will always obey the rules; they plan what to do if someone makes a mistake. The manual reminds drivers that the law expects them to protect one another from their own mistakes.
