Sample question from test 7
emergencies
When approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights, which lane should you use?
- The lane not nearest the stopped vehicle
- The lane nearest the stopped vehicle
- The shoulder between the vehicle and curb
- Any lane without slowing
Answer: The lane not nearest the stopped vehicle. When an emergency vehicle is stopped with its lights flashing, move into the lane farthest from that vehicle when it is safe. This gives the officer and other responders a wider buffer from passing traffic. Choosing the nearest lane leaves too little separation, using the shoulder can put a driver where responders are working, and maintaining speed without moving ignores the handbook’s instruction. Scan ahead for flashing lights, change lanes carefully, and remain in the farther lane until you have passed.
