What should you do when following a subject in traffic?

  1. Follow very closely to avoid losing them

  2. Play the lights and evaluate the traffic situation

  3. Ignore traffic laws to keep up

  4. Use a loud horn to warn others

The correct answer is: Play the lights and evaluate the traffic situation

When following a subject in traffic, it is crucial to prioritize safety for both yourself and others on the road. Evaluating the traffic situation while maintaining a safe distance allows you to keep the subject in sight without risking a dangerous driving situation. The use of lights, if appropriate and legal, can help you maneuver through traffic more effectively, ensuring you do not lose the subject while also adhering to road safety regulations. Being mindful of traffic laws is essential for avoiding accidents and legal issues. This approach not only keeps you safe but also ensures that you are able to carry out your investigation without drawing unnecessary attention to yourself or causing disruptions on the road.
