You must give the right of way to a police car, a fire engine, an ambulance, or other emergency vehicle using a siren and red light. Drive as close to the right edge of the road as possible and stop until the emergency vehicle(s) has passed. However, don't stop in an intersection. If you are in an intersection when you see an emergency vehicle, continue through the intersection and then drive to the right as soon as you can and stop. Emergency vehicles often use the wrong side of the street to continue on their way. What should you do when you see an emergency vehicle with a siren and red light?

1) Continue driving normally
2) Pull over to the left side of the road
3) Drive as close to the right edge of the road as possible and stop
4) Speed up to get out of the way
