If there are red flashing lights above all motorway lanes, what should you do?

  1. Continue with caution

  2. Stop and wait

  3. Speed up to clear the area

  4. Turn around

The correct answer is: Stop and wait

In this scenario, red flashing lights above all motorway lanes indicate that there is a serious emergency or hazard ahead and it is necessary to stop and wait until it is safe to proceed. Continuing with caution may put you at risk of entering a dangerous situation. Speeding up to clear the area could be dangerous for you and other drivers, and turning around would not be a suitable option in a motorway as it goes against the flow of traffic. Therefore, the best course of action is to follow the instructions of the flashing lights and come to a complete stop to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
