What must you do if an emergency vehicle approaches with sirens and lights?

When an emergency vehicle is approaching with sirens and lights activated, yielding the right-of-way and pulling over is the appropriate and legally mandated action. This maneuver ensures that emergency responders can proceed to their destination without delay and allows you to maintain safety on the road.

Upon hearing sirens or seeing flashing lights, drivers should look for a safe location to stop, ideally to the right side of the road, and come to a complete stop. This not only helps in clearing the path for emergency vehicles but also prevents potential accidents that could occur if traffic continues to move while an emergency vehicle is trying to pass.

In situations where there are multiple lanes, such as on a highway, vehicles in all lanes should take similar measures, allowing the emergency vehicle to pass unimpeded. This behavior demonstrates responsible driving and adherence to traffic laws designed to protect public safety.
