What should you do if an emergency vehicle approaches while you are in a roundabout?

When an emergency vehicle approaches while you are in a roundabout, the best course of action is to exit the roundabout immediately and pull to the right. This allows the emergency vehicle to pass through the roundabout without delay, ensuring that it can respond to the emergency situation as quickly as possible.

Exiting the roundabout keeps the flow of traffic moving for other vehicles that may not be in the path of the emergency vehicle and reduces the chances of confusion or accidents. Additionally, pulling to the right provides a clear path for the emergency vehicle to navigate through without having to maneuver around stopped or slow-moving vehicles.

Maintaining your speed, stopping in the middle of the roundabout, or waiting for the roundabout to clear may hinder the emergency vehicle’s ability to proceed efficiently and could potentially create dangerous situations for both you and other drivers. Therefore, the correct action is to exit promptly and make space for the emergency response.
