Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
A fire truck with its siren on passes you on the way to a fire. After it passes, you continue on the same street. What is the closest that Nebraska law lets you follow the fire truck?
Correct answer: No closer than 500 feet
Why
Fire trucks may stop, turn, or back up suddenly at an emergency, and crews need clear space to work. First pull over to the right and stop until the fire truck passes; then stay at least 500 feet behind it. Also, do not drive into or park in the block where the fire truck has stopped for the emergency.
