emergencies
What must a driver do when approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle with warning lights?
- Make an appropriate lane change when possible, or reduce to a safe speed if changing lanes is unsafe
- Maintain speed and pass in the same lane without caution
- Stop beside the emergency vehicle and wait for its driver
- Use the shoulder to pass regardless of traffic
Answer: Make an appropriate lane change when possible, or reduce to a safe speed if changing lanes is unsafe. For a stationary authorized emergency vehicle displaying warning lights, Delaware requires caution and a yield of right-of-way. Change lanes when that can be done safely. If a lane change is impossible or unsafe, reduce speed to a safe level instead. Maintaining speed ignores workers in the roadway, stopping beside the vehicle can obstruct the scene, and using the shoulder regardless of traffic creates another hazard. The cue is to assess the lane first, then choose a safe move or safe speed.
