Sample question from test 6
emergencies
An emergency vehicle approaches from any direction with flashing red or red-and-blue lights. What must you do?
- Pull to the curb or roadside and stop, clear of intersections
- Keep moving if your lane is already clear
- Stop across the nearest intersection
- Follow behind it within 100 feet
Answer: Pull to the curb or roadside and stop, clear of intersections. Pennsylvania requires a driver to pull toward the curb or side of the road and stop when an emergency vehicle approaches with the specified warning lights. The vehicle should remain clear of intersections and resume only after the emergency vehicle passes, keeping at least 500 feet behind it. Continuing because the lane looks open can delay the response vehicle, and stopping across an intersection blocks its route. Treat the siren or flashing lights as an immediate instruction to make room, then check for another emergency vehicle before moving again.
