Question 5956

What must a driver do if they see an ambulance responding to an emergency approaching from behind their vehicle?

  1. Speed up to clear the way for the emergency vehicle.
  2. Move aside or, if necessary, stop to let it pass.
  3. Keep driving normally without taking any action.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Move aside or, if necessary, stop to let it pass.

As soon as you see or hear it, you must make way as the circumstances and location require. Normally, you move over to your right and stop if necessary. Speeding up in front of it does not give it room, and neither does continuing as before.
