How should you respond when an emergency vehicle approaches with sirens?

• A. Speed up to get out of the way
• B. Move to the right edge or curb and stop, keeping the path clear until the emergency vehicle passes.
• C. Turn off engine and hazard lights
• D. Continue at the same pace

Answer: (B)

When an emergency vehicle with sirens is approaching, you should yield by moving to the right edge or curb and stopping, keeping the path clear so the vehicle can pass quickly and safely. This creates space for responders to maneuver and reduces the chance of delays or collisions. After the vehicle passes, proceed only when it’s safe to do so. Steering away from the right edge or continuing at the same speed would hinder the emergency vehicle, and turning off the engine or using hazard lights isn’t part of the necessary action in this moment.
