Show answer

Correct answer

  • CDetener el vehículo.Stop the vehicle.
Explanation

One amber light, or two alternately flashing amber lights, require drivers to take extreme care and, where necessary, to give way. They also do not exempt drivers from complying with other signs that require them to stop, such as the STOP sign in the picture, which obliges us to stop the vehicle.
