Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
A fire truck with its lights and siren on passes you. You pull back onto the road and drive in the same direction. You are now about 300 feet behind it. What should you do?
Enlarged details identify car A and fire truck B with warning lights lit. A scale overview shows A following B with the stated 300-foot gap after the fire truck passed. The card states that B’s lights flash and its siren sounds.
Correct answer: Drop back until you are at least 500 feet behind the fire truck
Why
Emergency vehicles can stop, turn or change lanes with little warning. A second emergency vehicle can also follow the first one. A gap of 500 feet gives you time to react and keeps the route open.
