BDifficulty 3/5

A priority vehicle is travelling on an emergency call. Are other drivers obliged to give way to it?

Correct answer

Yes, stopping if necessary.

Yes. On perceiving a priority vehicle’s signals, safely facilitate its passage according to the location and circumstances, normally moving right or stopping if necessary. In queues on motorways and dual carriageways with two or more lanes in the same direction, vehicles in the leftmost lane move left and those in other lanes move right to form the emergency lane. Moving right is therefore not always appropriate.
