What must you do if the intersection is not clear before entering?

If the intersection is not clear before entering, remaining stopped and waiting until it is clear is the safest and most responsible action to take. This ensures that you do not risk a collision with other vehicles or pedestrians who may have the right of way or are already in the intersection.

Proceeding into an unclear intersection can lead to dangerous situations, as visibility may be compromised or conditions may change rapidly. By waiting, you are allowing yourself the time to assess the situation fully. This practice not only promotes your safety but also the safety of others on the road.

Looking for an alternate route may not be practical or necessary in many situations, especially if you are already at the intersection. The best approach is to ensure that the path is clear before making a move. Speeding up to enter quickly compromises the safety of everyone involved and can lead to accidents. Asserting your right of way by entering anyway, despite not being clear, is not a safe action, as it disregards the principles of safe driving and can result in collisions.
