What is the proper action if an emergency vehicle approaches while you are driving?

  1. Speed up to get out of their way

  2. Pull over and stop immediately

  3. Ignore it unless it has its sirens on

  4. Increase speed to keep ahead

The correct answer is: Pull over and stop immediately

When an emergency vehicle approaches with its lights flashing and sirens sounding, the proper action is to pull over to the right side of the road and stop immediately. This is essential for several reasons. First and foremost, it ensures the safety of both the emergency responders and other road users by creating a clear path for the emergency vehicle to pass. By stopping, you allow the emergency personnel to reach their destination as quickly as possible, which is crucial in situations where time is of the essence, such as medical emergencies, fires, or police responses. Additionally, obeying this rule is mandated by law in most jurisdictions, including Saskatchewan, and failing to comply can lead to fines or other penalties. Understanding the importance of yielding to emergency vehicles helps reinforce safe driving habits and contributes to the overall safety of the community.
