At the garage in Venray, just before the morning rush hour, a YELLOW warning light is on in the loan car you are about to take over. What do you do?
- Switch off the engine immediately and not drive at all, just like with red
- Ignore the light as long as it stays yellow, even over months
- ✓ Drive away calmly and have the problem fixed soon, not driving longer than necessary
Correct answer: Drive away calmly and have the problem fixed soon, not driving longer than necessary
Explanation
Yellow = no need to stop immediately (Book p.216); only red requires stopping right away
Why learners get this wrong
- Yellow = no need to stop immediately (Book p.216); only red requires stopping right away
