You are already driving in a roundabout when you hear a siren and see flashing lights behind you. What should you do?
Blue A and emergency ambulance B are already inside a single-lane roundabout, with B behind A. Active lamp overlays sit on the original warning lenses; the card supplies the siren.
Correct answer: Go on to your exit, leave the roundabout, then pull over to let it pass.
Why
If you have not entered the roundabout yet, pull over before the entrance and let the emergency vehicle go by. Once you are inside, stopping can trap the emergency vehicle behind you. Always yield to emergency vehicles with lights and sirens on.
