Question 7371

An emergency vehicle traveling in emergency service must be allowed to pass...

  1. by always stopping the vehicle on the left side of the roadway.
  2. by taking the appropriate measures according to the circumstances at the time.
  3. by always moving to the right side of the roadway.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: by taking the appropriate measures according to the circumstances at the time.

Normally, you move over to your right or stop if necessary, but it depends on the situation, and no maneuver is always appropriate. On a freeway where cars are stopped in a traffic backup, for example, drivers in the left lane move toward the left to open a lane for emergency vehicles.
