If a police vehicle on emergency service approaches on a saturated or congested road, what behavior should you adopt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations, priority vehicles (police, fire, ambulance) have the right of way over other vehicles when operating in emergency service (signaling with lights and/or sirens). The correct answer is to facilitate their passage as much as possible. This does not necessarily mean stopping abruptly, as this could block the road, but rather moving to the right or, in cases of congestion (emergency corridor), moving laterally to create space allowing the police vehicle to advance safely and without obstacles.
