Where must priority vehicles (police, fire, ambulance) drive when NOT responding to an emergency?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is on the roadway. It is crucial to distinguish between 'special vehicles' (tractors, construction) and 'priority vehicles' (police, ambulances). The question refers to priority vehicles, as they are the ones performing 'emergency services'. The rule states that when priority vehicles are not responding to an emergency, they do not have special priority and must obey the same traffic rules as regular vehicles. Therefore, they must drive on the roadway (usually the right lane) and not on the shoulder, unless due to breakdown or emergency.
