What should you do when you see an approaching emergency vehicle with flashing lights?

• A. Pull over to the right and stop your car
• B. Speed up to clear the lane
• C. Continue driving as normal
• D. Pull over to the left and stop your car

Answer: (A)

When you see an approaching emergency vehicle with flashing lights, yield the right of way by pulling over to the right edge of the road and stopping. This gives the emergency vehicle a clear path and reduces the risk of a collision, allowing it to pass safely. After it passes, resume driving only when it’s safe. Speeding up or continuing to drive would block or slow the emergency vehicle, and pulling over to the left is not the standard safe maneuver in this situation.
