How should you react to emergency vehicles with sirens approaching?

• A. Increase speed to clear the path.
• B. Pull over to the right edge or curb and stop if safe; yield to their path.
• C. Stop in the middle of the lane.
• D. Continue at the same speed.

Answer: (B)

When emergency vehicles with sirens approach, you must yield by pulling over to the right edge or curb and stopping if it’s safe, giving them the space to pass. This move clears the road for responders, helping them reach the scene faster and reducing the risk of a collision. Patience and caution matter here: increasing speed to race ahead creates a dangerous situation and is not allowed, while stopping in the middle of a lane blocks traffic and slows everyone down. If you can’t reach the right edge because of traffic, slow down, stay as far to the right as possible, and wait until you can safely pull over or the vehicle passes.
