## Question
It is not that you must not drive on sidewalks or roadside strips.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that you must not drive on sidewalks or roadside strips. There are exceptions, such as crossing them to enter or exit a place facing the road, but in principle, driving on them is prohibited. The double-negative sentence means "you may drive on them," which is incorrect.
