If you perceive the special signals of a priority vehicle in emergency service, what behavior must you adopt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations state that priority vehicles (such as ambulances, police, or fire trucks) have the right of way when operating in emergency service. Upon perceiving their signals (lights and/or sirens), other drivers must take appropriate measures to facilitate their passage. The general rule indicates that you must move the vehicle to the right or stop if necessary to clear the road. Accelerating is dangerous, and ignoring the signal constitutes a serious infraction.
