What should you do when approaching a stop sign?

Keep driving
Make a left turn
Yield to other drivers
Slam on the brakes

The correct answer is: Yield to other drivers

Approaching a stop sign requires drivers to come to a complete stop before proceeding. Keeping driving (option A) is incorrect as it goes against the purpose of a stop sign. Making a left turn (option B) is incorrect as this action can only be taken if there are no stop sign or traffic signal present. Slamming on the brakes (option D) is incorrect as it is an abrupt and unsafe way to come to a stop. Yielding to other drivers (option C) is the correct answer as it allows for a safe and courteous approach to the stop sign, giving the right of way to any vehicles or pedestrians who may be crossing the intersection.
