Question 4503

If a non-emergency vehicle is performing a service normally reserved for emergency vehicles and its driver indicates this with audible and visual signals, the other drivers...

  1. will let it pass, even stopping if necessary.
  2. are not required to let it pass, since it is not an emergency vehicle.
  3. will move over to the right, but under no circumstances will they stop their vehicles.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: will let it pass, even stopping if necessary.

You must make way for it as you would for an emergency vehicle, moving aside and stopping if necessary. The car is not an emergency vehicle, but its driver is signaling a serious emergency, and you must let it through. In the image, the driver is waving a red cloth out the window.
