When the traffic light turns green and you are the first vehicle, you must:

Speed up
Stop
Turn
Go

The correct answer is: Go

When the traffic light turns green, it indicates that it is safe for vehicles to move forward. As the first vehicle at the intersection, it is your responsibility to start moving through the intersection in a safe manner. Therefore, it is important to carefully proceed and go through the intersection, making sure to follow traffic laws and check for any hazards. Option A, speeding up, would be a dangerous and reckless choice that could potentially result in an accident. Option B, stopping, would cause disruption to traffic flow and is unnecessary since the light is green. Option C, turning, may be necessary if you are in a turning lane, but it is not the first action you should take when the light turns green. Option D, go, is the most appropriate and correct response as a first vehicle at a green light.
