On a road with one lane each way and no intersection nearby, ambulance A is approaching from behind with its lights flashing and siren sounding. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight with the right turn signal on
- Ambulance A is approaching from behind with its lights flashing
- Car B is approaching from the opposite direction
- One lane each way; solid double yellow centerline
Away from intersections and their vicinity, you must yield the way so an emergency vehicle can pass first (Article 29(5) of the Road Traffic Act). Even while yielding, crossing the solid yellow centerline or sudden braking in the middle of the lane is a separate violation.
Answer: ④, ⑤
Explanation
When an emergency vehicle approaches somewhere other than at or near an intersection, you must yield so it can pass first (Road Traffic Act Article 29(5)). On a road with one lane each way, signal, slow down and move close to the right edge, stopping if necessary to let it go first. Car B is coming and the centerline is solid yellow, so moving to the left is not allowed (Article 13(3)), and braking hard in the middle of the lane without a reason such as avoiding danger endangers vehicles behind (Article 19(4)).
