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

When an emergency vehicle approaches with lights and sirens activated, the correct action is to pull over to the right side of the road. This ensures that the emergency vehicle can pass safely and quickly without obstruction. It is critical to yield the right-of-way to emergency vehicles, as they may be responding to urgent situations where every second counts.

Stopping in the middle of the road or speeding up can create hazardous situations for both the drivers and the emergency responders. Continuing to drive as normal disregards the approach of an emergency vehicle and can hinder its ability to reach its destination promptly. By moving to the right, you not only comply with traffic laws but also contribute to the safety of everyone on the road, including those in need of emergency assistance.
