How should you react when an emergency vehicle with sirens approaches from behind?

• A. Speed up to stay ahead.
• B. Pull safely over to the right edge or curb and stop until the vehicle passes.
• C. Drive through the intersection before it passes.
• D. Stop in the middle of the road and wait.

Answer: (B)

When an emergency vehicle with sirens is coming from behind, the priority is to create a clear path for it by moving to the right edge or curb and stopping. This gives the vehicle room to pass quickly and safely, reducing the risk of delaying responders and preventing crashes with your vehicle. After you’ve pulled over and the emergency vehicle passes, wait for it to go by and then re-enter traffic carefully. If you can’t pull fully to the right because of obstacles, slow down and stop as safely as you can while still allowing the vehicle to pass.
