What should you do when the light turns green?

  1. Speed up

  2. Slow down

  3. Stop

  4. Look left and then right

The correct answer is: Look left and then right

When the light turns green, you should first look left and then right before proceeding. This is to ensure that there are no cars or obstacles in your way before accelerating. Option A and B are incorrect because speeding up or slowing down without assessing the situation could lead to accidents. Option C is also not the correct choice because the light has turned green indicating that you are allowed to proceed, not stop.
