Red flag traffic laws

Okay kiddo, imagine you are playing a game where you have to follow certain rules to stay safe. Just like that, there are some rules that drivers have to follow to keep themselves and others safe while driving on the roads.

These rules are called traffic laws, and they help prevent accidents and keep everyone on the road safe. But sometimes, there are some traffic laws that are extra important - those are called "red flag traffic laws."

Now, what makes these traffic laws special is that they are the really important ones that you absolutely CANNOT break. Breaking them could "flag" you as someone who's reckless or dangerous to others on the road.

For example, red flag traffic laws might include things like running a red light, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding excessively, or not stopping at a stop sign.

Basically, if you see a red flag traffic law, it means you should pay extra attention to it and make sure to follow it no matter what. Because if you break one of these rules, you could hurt yourself, others, or even get in trouble with the police.

So always remember to follow the rules of the road and pay close attention to any red flag traffic laws!
