When turning right at a red light, you should:

  1. Make a complete stop

  2. Speed up and beat the traffic passing through

  3. Yield to traffic in the intersection

  4. Drive on the shoulder of the road

The correct answer is: Yield to traffic in the intersection

When turning right at a red light, it is important to first come to a complete stop and check for any oncoming traffic or pedestrians. Speeding up and trying to beat the traffic passing through can be dangerous and can also result in a traffic violation. Driving on the shoulder of the road is also not allowed and can result in a traffic violation. The correct option is to yield to traffic in the intersection, meaning to wait until the way is clear and safe to proceed with the turn. This ensures the safety of yourself and others on the road.
