California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

What should you do under California law when an emergency vehicle is approaching with its siren on and lights flashing?

Yield the right-of-way Increase your speed Move to the left side of your lane Stop and honk your horn

Correct Answer:

Yield the right-of-way

Explanation:

When an emergency vehicle is approaching with its siren on and lights flashing, it means that the vehicle is in an urgent situation and needs clear passage. Therefore, it is important to yield the right-of-way and safely move out of the emergency vehicle's path. Increasing your speed, moving to the left side of your lane, and honking your horn may interfere with the emergency vehicle and hinder their ability to reach their destination quickly and safely. It is crucial to follow California law and allow emergency vehicles to pass through unimpeded to potentially save someone's life.
