When a police officer signals you to pull your vehicle over you must…?
- Slow down and stop in the lane you are in
- Pull over as far to the left as possible
- Pull over as far to the right as you safely can and come to a complete stop ✓
- Signal and stop at the nearest parking lot
Answer: C. Pull over as far to the right as you safely can and come to a complete stop
You must pull over as far to the right as you safely can and come to a complete stop.
Why this is the answer
The Ontario handbook says that when an officer signals you to pull over, you must move as far to the right as you safely can and then come to a complete stop. It also says to stay in your vehicle and wait for the officer. That matches the correct choice directly. The passage does not tell you to stop in your lane, move left, or look for a parking lot; it gives a single right-side stopping rule.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Slow down and stop in the lane you are in — The handbook says to pull over to the right and stop completely, not to slow down and stop in the lane you are in.
- B. Pull over as far to the left as possible — The instruction is to move as far right as you safely can, not as far left as possible.
- D. Signal and stop at the nearest parking lot — The handbook does not say to signal and stop at a parking lot; it says to pull over to the right and come to a complete stop.
Remember it
Right side, complete stop, stay in the vehicle: the officer's signal sets the rule.
