Question: In Ontario, what speed rule applies in near a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights?
Answer options:
- Standard 50 km/h applies ✅ reduce to 60 km/h and move over
- There is no specific rule
- Posted speed always applies
Correct answer: reduce to 60 km/h and move over
Explanation: Ontario's "Move Over" law requires drivers approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights to slow down and, if safe, change lanes to leave space. Reducing speed and moving over is correct because it directly satisfies this safety requirement to protect roadside emergency personnel. The other options are incorrect because holding a standard speed, relying on the posted speed, or assuming no rule exists violates the legal duty to actively reduce speed and safely clear the adjacent lane. This concept is highly relevant for the G1 exam, as failing to obey Ontario's emergency vehicle laws results in steep fines and demerit points.
