California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

When can an emergency vehicle be passed on the left?

It must always be passed on the left When the speed limit is 40 mph or less When the speed limit is 70 mph or more Never

Correct Answer:

Never

Explanation:

An emergency vehicle should never be passed on the left in any situation. It is illegal to do so, as it poses a danger to both the emergency vehicle and other drivers on the road. Passing an emergency vehicle on the left could also impede their path and delay their response to the emergency they are attending to. Therefore, passing an emergency vehicle on the left is never a safe or acceptable option. Options A, B, and C suggest specific situations when passing an emergency vehicle on the left may be permissible, but this is incorrect and not in accordance with traffic laws. Answer D is the only correct and safe option.
