○ true
○ false

Explanation:

The text states "Although it is lawful for you to remain silent during a traffic stop, you are required by law to truthfully identify yourself when asked to do so by an officer." This means that while you must identify yourself, you can remain silent for other questions. So the statement "If asked questions by an officer, you may not remain silent during a traffic stop" is false.

Answer:

False
