BDifficulty 3/5

What precaution must drivers of priority vehicles in urgent service take at a junction or traffic light that does not permit their passage?

Correct answer

Take extreme precautions and check that there is no danger and others are allowing passage.

They must take extreme precautions, establish that pedestrians are not at risk and check that other drivers have stopped or are preparing to let them pass. They are not exempt from every rule. Article 68 permits certain exceptions under their sole responsibility without endangering anyone; officers’ orders and signals remain compulsory.
