Ch. 1 · Common Conduct

Which of the following is correctly identified as something you must not do on the road?

[Multiple choice · Medium]

Answer: A: Rushing the driver or engaging in behavior that interferes with driving

Explanation

The Rules of the Road, Chapter 1, Section 4, Item 4 explicitly states "do not rush the driver or engage in behavior that interferes with driving." Offering food or encouraging safe driving is not prohibited, and asking a licensed person to drive is acceptable if they are not under the influence of alcohol.
