Question: When emergency vehicles approach with sirens and lights, you should:

Answer options:

• Speed up to get out of the way ✅ Pull over to the right and stop
• Continue driving normally
• Stop in the middle of the intersection

Correct answer: Pull over to the right and stop

Explanation: Under the Quebec Highway Safety Code, when an emergency vehicle approaches with activated lights or sirens, drivers must yield the right-of-way by safely moving to the right shoulder or curb and coming to a complete stop. Pulling over to the right and stopping ensures a clear, predictable path for responders. Speeding up or continuing normally is illegal and dangerous, while stopping inside an intersection blocks emergency traffic and risks a collision. Preparing for SAAQ exam questions on emergency vehicles requires understanding these yield rules and Quebec's move-over law, which are heavily prioritized to ensure public safety.
