Sample question from test 7
emergencies
An emergency vehicle responding to an emergency approaches from behind in New York. What must you do?
- Yield the right-of-way and move safely to the side
- Race ahead until the emergency vehicle changes lanes
- Stop in the middle of the intersection
- Follow it closely through the next signal
Answer: Yield the right-of-way and move safely to the side. New York requires drivers to yield to authorized emergency vehicles responding to emergencies. The driver should make room safely, moving toward the side of the road as appropriate, and avoid blocking the vehicle's path. Racing ahead can prolong the conflict, while stopping in an intersection may obstruct both the responder and cross traffic. A siren and emergency lamps are the cue to check mirrors, signal, move aside when safe, and remain stopped or clear until the vehicle has passed.
