Sample question from test 3
emergencies
What should a driver do when approaching a stationary emergency vehicle with flashing lights on a qualifying multi-lane roadway?
- Stop in the lane next to the emergency vehicle
- Maintain speed unless an officer waves directly
- Change into a nonadjacent lane, or reduce speed and proceed cautiously if changing lanes is unsafe
- Move toward the emergency vehicle before passing
Answer: Change into a nonadjacent lane, or reduce speed and proceed cautiously if changing lanes is unsafe. The driver should make a lane change into a lane that is not adjacent to the stationary emergency vehicle. If that movement cannot be made safely, the alternative is to reduce speed and maintain a safe speed for current road conditions. Stopping beside the vehicle can obstruct responders, while maintaining speed disregards the flashing warning. Moving closer reverses the protective action. The decision cue is simple: create a lane of separation when possible, otherwise slow down and pass with care.
