When an emergency vehicle is approaching with visual or audible warnings, you should

• A. Yield right of way
• B. Speed up to clear the lane
• C. Continue driving as usual
• D. Stop where you are

Answer: (A)

When an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights or sirens, you must yield the right of way. This means slow down and move to the right edge or curb as safely as possible, then stop and wait until the emergency vehicle has passed. Do not block intersections or linger in the path of the vehicle, and only proceed once it’s clear. The aim is to let responders reach their scene quickly and safely. Driving as usual, speeding up to “get out of the way,” or stopping right where you are would hinder the emergency vehicle and create a hazard.
