emergencies
When an emergency vehicle approaches using its siren and flashing lights, what is the Maryland driver's immediate duty?
- Move near the road edge and remain stopped until it passes
- Speed up to reach the next intersection first
- Continue at the same speed if your lane is clear
- Pass the emergency vehicle before pulling over
Answer: Move near the road edge and remain stopped until it passes. A police car, ambulance, or fire engine using its signals has the right-of-way. Move as close as possible to the road edge, stay out of intersections, and remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes. Speeding toward an intersection can trap the vehicle where responders need a clear path. A clear lane does not cancel the duty to yield, and passing the emergency vehicle is prohibited when traveling in the same direction unless it stops or an officer directs you to pass. Treat the siren and flashing lights as an immediate instruction to yield.
