The light turned red at an intersection with a stop line, but stopping before the stop line would have risked a rear-end collision with the vehicle behind, so I crossed the stop line and stopped just before the intersection.
[True / False · Hard]
Answer: False
Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that when there is a stop line, you must stop just before it. Crossing the stop line due to concerns about vehicles behind you is not permitted. The correct approach is to maintain a sufficient following distance and drive at a speed that allows you to stop safely before the stop line.
