When an emergency vehicle is stopped ahead with flashing lights and you cannot change lanes safely, you should:
- A.Slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit as you pass
- B.Maintain your speed and pass close by
- C.Stop in your lane behind it
- D.Pass on the shoulder at full speed
Correct answer
A. Slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit as you pass
Why
If a lane change is not possible, the Move Over law requires slowing to 20 mph below the posted limit. This gives responders a safer working area.
