Correct answer
No, only when they are on an urgent call and indicate this.
No. They have priority on an urgent call when warning with special lights and an audible signal; lights alone may be used if omitting the audible signal creates no danger. Articles 67 and 68 allow exceptions to certain rules under the driver’s responsibility and without endangering anyone. At intersections or traffic lights, take extreme precautions and check that others have stopped or will facilitate passage. Officers’ orders and signals are always binding. Belonging to an emergency service does not confer priority at all times.
