When a car has a yield sign, what must you do?

Stop and then proceed
Slow down and proceed
Make sure all other cars are stopped before proceeding
Increase speed and proceed

The correct answer is: Stop and then proceed

When encountering a yield sign while driving, the correct protocol is to initially come to a complete stop and then proceed with caution. This is to ensure that any oncoming traffic or pedestrians have been given the right of way before continuing. Option B is incorrect because slowing down does not necessarily mean coming to a complete stop. Option C is incorrect because it is impossible to determine if all other cars have stopped before proceeding without causing some sort of traffic back up. Option D is incorrect because increasing speed is never advised when approaching a yield sign.
