An ambulance is stopped on your side of a highway with its red lights flashing. Traffic is light, and no officer is directing traffic. What must you do?
Blue A approaches an ambulance C stopped on the right shoulder with red warning lamps active. Silver B approaches from the other direction. Traffic is light, no officer is present, and neither car has a stopping halo or selected path.
Correct answer: Stop completely before you reach it, then pass with caution only when it is safe.
Why
Red lights on a stopped emergency vehicle often mean that rescuers, injured people or wreckage are on or near the road. The complete stop gives you time to see where people are and where a safe path is. Follow any directions from officers or rescue workers at the scene.
