What should you do when approaching a red light?

  1. Come to a complete stop

  2. Check for approaching cars

  3. Honk loudly

  4. Speed up

The correct answer is: Come to a complete stop

When approaching a red light, the correct thing to do is to come to a complete stop. Option B, checking for approaching cars, is still important but it is not the primary action to take. Option C, honking loudly, is not necessary and could be considered disruptive or unnecessary noise. Option D, speeding up, is unsafe and violates traffic laws.
