At an intersection, if an oncoming vehicle has a flashing yellow light, you should:

  1. Slow down

  2. Stop

  3. Increase your speed

  4. Proceed

The correct answer is: Proceed

When an oncoming vehicle has a flashing yellow light, the right-of-way remains with the vehicle already in the intersection. This means that you should proceed with caution, watching for any other oncoming vehicles or hazards in the intersection. Slowing down or increasing your speed may confuse other drivers and potentially cause an accident, so it's important to follow the flow of traffic and proceed safely through the intersection. Stopping is not necessary unless there is a traffic signal or stop sign indicating you must do so. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate action to take when encountering an oncoming vehicle with a flashing yellow light.
