What behavior must drivers adopt when they perceive an approaching priority vehicle on emergency service?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that priority vehicles (police, fire, ambulance, civil protection) have the right of way over other vehicles when traveling on emergency service (using light and/or acoustic signals). The obligation of other drivers is to facilitate their passage as quickly as possible. The standard and safe maneuver is to move to the right side of the road or to the right lane and, if necessary to avoid hindering them, stop the vehicle completely. Speeding up is dangerous as it can cause an accident, and continuing without altering your course is prohibited.
