Question 66 in the bank

Is it obligatory to obey the directions and signals of a military policeman, even when a certain direction or signal is opposed to the traffic signs?

  1. Correct answer: Yes, it is obligatory to obey with full caution.
  2. Yes, except for directions which contradict a no-entry sign.
  3. No, it is not obligatory to obey
  4. Yes, except for directions which contradict a stop sign.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, it is obligatory to obey with full caution.

A military policeman is authorised to direct traffic, and his directions and signals take priority over traffic signs and lights, just like those of a police officer. There is no exception for stop or no-entry signs. He responds to the actual situation, such as an accident, a convoy or a hazard. Still, obey with full caution, because other drivers may keep following the signs.
