What is a safety precaution you should take once you've pulled over alongside a trail?

  1. Keep accelerating

  2. Rev your engine

  3. Signal for help

  4. Turn off the engine and keep a lookout for other riders

The correct answer is: Keep accelerating

If you've pulled over alongside a trail, keeping your engine running can actually be detrimental to your safety. It can lead to overheating, exhaust buildup, and potentially draw dangerous animals to your location. Additionally, it would be beneficial to turn off your engine so you can listen for other riders approaching. Keeping your engine off can also conserve fuel, which may be needed in case of an emergency. Revving your engine without a clear purpose can also create unnecessary noise pollution and cause confusion for other riders or hikers on the trail. Signaling for help is important, but it is not the only safety precaution you should take. Therefore, the best option is to turn off the engine and keep a lookout for other riders to ensure your own safety.
