You are rushing a family member whose life is in danger to the hospital in an ordinary passenger car. When this car runs as a vehicle deemed to be an emergency vehicle, what should the driver do?
A vehicle carrying a patient whose life is in danger is 'deemed' an emergency vehicle, and the way it shows its urgency differs from that of a regular emergency vehicle (Article 2(2) and Article 3(2) of the Enforcement Decree of the Road Traffic Act). Think about what an ordinary passenger car's own equipment can do and whether separate designation is needed.
Answer: ①
Explanation
A vehicle transporting a patient whose life is in danger is deemed an emergency vehicle under Article 2(2) of the Enforcement Decree. Under Article 3(2), such a vehicle must indicate that it is running for an emergency purpose by suitable means such as turning on the headlights or hazard lights. It needs no emergency lights, siren or designation, but it must not ignore signals without any indication and must take special care for safety.
