What should you do at an intersection where you have a Stop sign?

Stop only when there is another vehicle present
Come to a complete stop before entering the intersection
Slow down and proceed with caution
Accelerate and take your chances

The correct answer is: Come to a complete stop before entering the intersection

At an intersection with a stop sign, it is important to come to a complete stop before entering the intersection. Doing so allows you to check for any oncoming traffic or pedestrians and ensures that you have enough time to safely make your turn or continue through the intersection. Option A, only stopping when another vehicle is present, is incorrect because it relies on the assumption that other vehicles will always stop for the stop sign, which is not always the case. Option C, slowing down and proceeding with caution, is also incorrect because a stop sign requires a complete stop. Option D, accelerating and taking your chances, is extremely dangerous and should never be done at any intersection, especially when there is a stop sign present.
