Passing target: 80% (20/25)
You are driving on a city street when an ambulance comes up behind you with its siren on and red lights flashing. You are in the middle of a block. What must you do?
Ambulance B approaches A from behind in the same city-street lane. Red glow marks sit over its warning-light lenses, and the card identifies flashing lights and a sounding siren. This is a middle-of-block scene.
Correct answer: Move as far right as you safely can, stop, and stay stopped until it passes.
Why
Emergency drivers expect other traffic to move right and stop, so a predictable response keeps a clear path open for them. Check your mirrors, signal, and move over smoothly instead of braking hard in front of the emergency vehicle. On a highway, do not stop on a paved shoulder that signs reserve for emergency vehicles and transit buses. After it passes, watch for a second emergency vehicle before you pull back into traffic.
