# MenkyoQuest — Question ch1_q026

Chapter: Ch. 1 Common Conduct
Section: 第３節 警察官などの指示に従うこと
Type: True/False
Difficulty: hard

## Question
When a police officer's hand signals and a traffic-directing officer's light signals give different instructions, you must follow whichever signal was given first.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road text does not address priority when a police officer's and a traffic-control officer's signals differ. Moreover, under Article 6 of the Road Traffic Act a police officer's directions take precedence; there is no rule to "follow whichever signal was given first," so this statement is incorrect.
