If a police vehicle positions itself behind you and activates a flashing yellow or red light facing forward, how should you proceed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

This signal is a direct order to stop directed exclusively at the vehicle driving in front of the patrol car. According to General Traffic Regulations, the driver must stop the vehicle on the right side of the road (never on the left), in a safe place ensuring no danger is caused. Furthermore, you must stop in front of the police vehicle, remain inside your car, and follow the instructions given by the officers via loudspeaker or gestures. It is not simply about yielding right of way, but a mandatory immobilization.
