DRIVE BY refers to what?

• A. Shots fired from a moving vehicle
• B. Drive by is a form of reckless driving
• C. A license plate check method
• D. A type of street-level surveillance

Answer: (A)

Drive-by refers to a shooting carried out from a moving vehicle as it passes by a target. This describes an act where the firearm is discharged from a vehicle in motion, often quickly and without the vehicle stopping. It is distinct from reckless driving, license plate checks, or surveillance activities because those involve driving behavior, plate verification, or monitoring rather than the act of firing from a moving car. In practice, recognizing a drive-by helps you convey urgent details to responding units—vehicle description, direction of travel, number of shots, any injuries, and the exact location—so officers can react quickly and safely.
