Which of the following CANNOT be an emergency vehicle under the Road Traffic Act and its decree?
Emergency vehicles are limited to those in Article 2(22) of the Road Traffic Act (fire trucks, ambulances, blood supply vehicles) and those listed in Article 2(1) of the Enforcement Decree. A vehicle not on the list cannot become an emergency vehicle however urgent its situation, so also distinguish the vehicles that need designation.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Emergency vehicles are the fire trucks, ambulances and blood supply vehicles of Article 2(22) of the Act plus the vehicles listed in Article 2(1) of the Enforcement Decree. Urgent mail vehicles and radio monitoring vehicles qualify once designated by the Commissioner, and VIP protection vehicles qualify when used for that official duty. A private tow truck is not on the list, so it cannot be an emergency vehicle.
