On a two-lane road you made way for an ambulance (A) with its lights and siren on, and A has just passed ahead of you. Car B in lane 2 also made way and is about to move off again. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 1
- Ambulance (A) has just passed ahead in lane 1
- Car B in lane 2 is about to move off again
Special exemptions such as for signals and speed apply only to the emergency vehicle, not to ordinary vehicles following it (Article 30 of the Road Traffic Act). The safe distance duty when following a vehicle (Article 19(1)) still applies, and do not overlook that the other vehicles that made way will start moving too.
Answer: ①, ⑤
Explanation
When following a vehicle you must keep enough distance to avoid it if it stops suddenly (Road Traffic Act Article 19(1)), and an ambulance on an emergency run may stop or turn without warning. Exemptions such as for signal violations apply only to emergency vehicles (Article 30), so ordinary cars following one must obey every rule. Vehicles that made way, such as car B, move off at the same time, so look around and rejoin the flow gradually (Article 48(1)).
