Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
A marked emergency vehicle with visual signals is parked beside a road with at least two lanes traveling in your direction. What should you do when safe?
Car A approaches a collision response in the right lane. An ambulance with flashing red lamps and two other vehicles are stopped on the right shoulder. The left lane is clear.
Correct answer: Leave the nearest lane, or if unsafe, slow at least 15 mph below the limit.
Why
Moving over creates working space; the defined speed reduction is the fallback when a safe lane change is not possible.
