BDifficulty 2/5

A non-priority car is forced to perform a particularly serious emergency service and no other means is available. May it alert other road users to that situation?

Correct answer

Yes, in especially serious circumstances

Yes, under article 70: use intermittent horn signals and hazard lights if fitted, or wave a handkerchief or use a similar method. The driver must obey traffic rules, especially at junctions; signalling an emergency does not make the car a priority vehicle or authorise passing a red light. Officers may require justification of the emergency service.
