## Question
Behind a streetcar stopped at a stop, when there are no people boarding or alighting and there is 1 meter or more between you and the streetcar, you may proceed at a stop-ready speed (jokō).

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that you may proceed at a stop-ready speed when there are no people boarding or alighting and there is 1.5 meters or more between you and the streetcar, or when there is a safety zone. One meter is less than 1.5 meters, so you may not proceed at a stop-ready speed.
