Question 3918
Drivers of emergency vehicles traveling in emergency service...
- will obey traffic lights.
- will try not to disregard right-of-way at intersections.
- are exempt from complying with any traffic rule.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: will try not to disregard right-of-way at intersections.
When responding to an emergency, the driver of an emergency vehicle tries to respect right-of-way at intersections. The driver may proceed without yielding, or through a red light, only after taking extra precautions and making sure there is no risk of hitting any pedestrians and that other drivers have stopped or will let the vehicle through. The driver is not exempt from all rules, because traffic officers’ orders must always be obeyed.
