What should you do if you are stopped by a police officer?

  1. Immediately pull over and turn off the engine

  2. Keep driving until you are out of sight

  3. Pull over gradually and turn on your hazard lights

  4. Roll down your window and greet the officer

The correct answer is: Immediately pull over and turn off the engine

If you are stopped by a police officer while driving, it is important to immediately pull over and turn off your engine. This lets the officer know that you are cooperating and following their instructions. Keeping driving until you are out of sight, as suggested in option B, can be seen as evasive and may escalate the situation. Option C suggests pulling over gradually, but this can be seen as suspicious and the officer may think you are trying to flee. Rolling down your window and greeting the officer, as suggested in option D, is not necessary and can be seen as a distraction. It is best to follow the officer's instructions and remain calm and respectful.
