Question 392 in the bank

When a “stop” sign is placed before a level crossing, the driver should:

  1. Turn-off the radio, turn-on the headlights and listen and look along the tracks.
  2. Correct answer: Stop the vehicle, turn-off the radio, open the window besides him and listen and look along the tracks.
  3. Stop the vehicle, turn-off the engine, turn-off the radio and turn-on the headlights.
  4. Shift into neutral gear, turn-off the radio and listen and look along the tracks.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Stop the vehicle, turn-off the radio, open the window besides him and listen and look along the tracks.

A stop sign before a level crossing requires a full stop before the tracks. To detect an approaching train, turn off the radio and open the window beside you so you can hear a horn or train noise, while looking along the tracks in both directions. Turning on headlights or switching off the engine does not replace stopping, listening and looking.
