BDifficulty 2/5

As a general rule, how does a priority vehicle travelling on urgent service warn of its presence?

Correct answer

With the blue V-1 light and audible warning, subject to the regulatory exception.

By using the blue V-1 light and special audible warning simultaneously. Article 68.2 requires the light alone when omitting the audible warning entails no danger to others; the exception does not depend on the siren causing danger. Hazard indicators do not replace V-1. Priority does not authorise endangering anyone or disobeying officers’ directions.
