14-283a addresses which offense?

• A. Engaging in pursuit
• B. No front plate
• C. Littering
• D. DUI

Answer: (A)

Understanding how a statute number maps to the offense is what this item tests. The code section 14-283a is the statute that covers engaging in pursuit—that is, initiating or continuing a vehicle chase to evade a police officer. This is different from the other listed offenses, which are defined by other statutes: not displaying a front license plate is a separate traffic/equipment violation, littering is an environmental/public nuisance offense, and DUI involves driving under the influence with its own set of elements. So, recognizing that 14-283a corresponds specifically to engaging in pursuit explains why that option is the correct one.
