Police Academy Exit Practice Test

Evading means willfully trying to avoid law enforcement, typically by fleeing or driving away after being signaled to stop. The best definition among the options is someone leaving the scene, because the core idea is actively trying to get away from officers and not comply by stopping. The other actions describe dangerous driving or the situation itself rather than the act of avoiding arrest: following too closely is tailgating, unsafe backing is backing up unsafely, and a traffic stop is the officers initiating contact, not the act of evading.
