What must an Alabama driver do when an emergency vehicle approaches with flashing lights and a siren?
- Pull to the side and stop
- Continue if the driver has a green signal
- Follow closely to reach the destination faster
- Stop in the middle of the intersection
Answer: Pull to the side and stop. An approaching emergency vehicle displaying flashing red or blue lights and sounding a siren requires the driver to pull toward the curb or side of the road and stop completely. The driver should clear an intersection before stopping, so stopping in its center is not the safe procedure. A green signal does not cancel the emergency vehicle’s priority, and following closely is prohibited and dangerous. Scan mirrors regularly so there is time to signal, move aside, and stop without an abrupt lane crossing.
