If a police vehicle situated behind you emits a flashing red or yellow light forward, what behavior should you adopt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations, a flashing red or yellow light directed forward from a police vehicle indicates to the driver of the vehicle in front that they must stop. The correct action is to stop the vehicle on the right side of the road or on the shoulder, in front of the patrol car, in a place where it does not create danger or obstruct traffic. Once stopped, the driver and passengers must remain inside the vehicle and follow the instructions given by the officer (usually via loudspeaker). Do not confuse this signal with the rotating blue lights (V-1), which only request priority for emergency service.
