A fire truck with its siren on has just passed you on the way to a fire. You pull back into traffic and find that you are about 150 feet behind it. What should you do?
Enlarged details identify A and responding fire truck B with its warning lights on. Below, a street overview shows A following B with the stated 150-foot bumper-to-bumper gap; the card identifies the sounding siren.
Correct answer: Drop back until you are at least 500 feet behind the fire truck.
Why
Emergency vehicles may brake, turn or stop without warning, and other emergency vehicles may follow the first one. Before you pull back into traffic, check that no second vehicle is coming. The law also forbids stopping within 500 feet of a fire truck that is stopped at a fire.
