Emergency vehicles and the move-over law
You must give way to emergency vehicles and protect responders working at the roadside. These rules appear regularly on the G1 test.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ When an emergency vehicle approaches with lights and siren, pull to the right and stop.
- ◆ Do not block intersections while waiting -- clear the way if you can.
- ◆ The move-over law requires you to slow down and, if safe, change lanes for stopped emergency or tow vehicles with their lights on.
- ◆ On a road with two or more lanes in your direction, move into a farther lane to pass.
- ◆ Never follow an emergency vehicle closely to get through traffic.
