Question: In Ontario, passing a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights you must:
Answer options: ✅ Slow to 60 km/h and move over a lane if possible
- Speed up
- Honk
- Stop completely
Correct answer: Slow to 60 km/h and move over a lane if possible
Explanation: Under Ontario's Highway Traffic Act "Move Over" law, when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights, drivers must slow down and, if the road has multiple lanes, move over to establish a safe buffer zone. If the speed limit is 80 km/h or more, you must reduce your speed to 60 km/h or less to protect first responders. Speeding up or honking increases the risk of a collision and distracts roadside workers, while stopping completely on a busy highway is extremely dangerous and can cause a pile-up. Understanding this slow-down and move-over regulation is a highly tested safety rule on the Ontario G1 knowledge exam.
