Question 7379

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, especially at intersections.
Yes. Carrying an injured person does not turn your passenger car into an emergency vehicle, so you must obey all traffic rules and take the greatest care at intersections. You must not run a stop sign or a red light, or exceed the speed limit. In the image, the passenger car is braking for the red light even though the hospital is already in sight.
