How should you act if you observe an ambulance on emergency duty approaching from behind?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When a priority vehicle (such as an ambulance, police, or fire truck) is on emergency duty, signaling with lights and/or sirens, it has the right of way over other vehicles. According to traffic regulations, other drivers must facilitate its passage by pulling over, normally to the right, and stopping if necessary, always without creating dangerous situations. The option to do so 'only in the city' is false because the rule applies to all roads, and 'continuing until overtaken' is insufficient, as active cooperation is required to clear the path.
