What must you do when an emergency vehicle approaches with its lights or siren activated?

When an emergency vehicle approaches with its lights or siren activated, you must yield the right of way. This means you should pull over to the right side of the road and stop. It is crucial to allow the emergency vehicle to pass without delay, as they may be responding to urgent situations that require immediate access to the area. Yielding the right of way ensures that emergency responders can reach their destination as quickly as possible, potentially saving lives and facilitating effective emergency response.

While there are choices that suggest speeding up or continuing to drive normally, these actions could obstruct the path of the emergency vehicle and create dangerous situations. The choice to pull over only if it is safe could lead to hesitation in yielding, which is not the primary intention when an emergency vehicle is present; the focus should be on ensuring a clear route for the emergency responder.
