Question: When an emergency vehicle approaches with siren and flashing lights, you must:
Answer options:
- Speed up to clear the way ✅ Pull as close as possible to the right curb and stop
- Continue driving normally
- Stop in the middle of the road
Correct answer: Pull as close as possible to the right curb and stop
Explanation: Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, drivers must immediately yield the right-of-way to approaching emergency vehicles. The correct action is to pull safely to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway and bring your vehicle to a complete stop. Stopping in the middle of the road, continuing at normal speed, or accelerating to clear the way are dangerous and illegal because they block the emergency vehicle's path and increase collision risks. Knowing this rule is essential for the G1 knowledge test, as questions regarding emergency vehicle protocols and responsibilities frequently appear in the rules of the road section to ensure public safety.
