Sample question from test 3
emergencies
When an emergency vehicle approaches from any direction using a siren or flashing lights, where should a driver pull over?
- To the right edge or as near to the right as possible
- To the left edge, regardless of the roadway
- Into the nearest intersection and stop there
- Onto the shoulder only if the emergency vehicle is behind
Answer: To the right edge or as near to the right as possible. The right-of-way guidance directs traffic toward the right edge, or as near to it as possible, so the responding vehicle can pass. This duty applies whether the warning comes from ahead, behind, or another direction. Stopping in an intersection can block the emergency path, so a driver already there should clear it first. Check mirrors and the roadway around you, then create space smoothly rather than making a sudden move that could cause another conflict.
