What should you always do after coming to a complete stop?

  1. Reverse quickly

  2. Make a left turn

  3. Check for traffic in all directions

  4. Pull away

The correct answer is: Check for traffic in all directions

After coming to a complete stop, you should always check for traffic in all directions before proceeding. Option A, reverse quickly, is incorrect because reversing quickly could be dangerous and there may still be vehicles or pedestrians in your blind spots. Option B, make a left turn, is incorrect because making a left turn may not always be necessary or safe. Option D, pull away, is incorrect because pulling away without checking for traffic in all directions could result in an accident. It is important to always be aware of your surroundings and ensure it is safe before proceeding on the road.
