What must you do when an emergency vehicle approaches with lights flashing?

When an emergency vehicle approaches with its lights flashing, the law requires drivers to pull over to the right side of the road and stop. This action creates a clear path for the emergency vehicle to pass through safely and quickly. It is important for drivers to take this responsibility seriously, as it ensures the safety of emergency responders and those in need of assistance. Stopping helps avoid any potential accidents that could occur if vehicles are obstructing the emergency vehicle's route.

In some situations, drivers should also remain stopped until the emergency vehicle has completely passed, allowing it to move freely and minimizing any additional risk on the road. This rule applies regardless of whether you are driving on a single-lane road or a multi-lane highway.
