If you are driving and hear a siren coming, what should you do?

Move over.
Change road as soon as possible.
Speed up to not be in the vehicle's way.
Pull to the right edge of the road and stop.
Explanation

When you hear the siren of an emergency vehicle, even if you can't see it, you must safely pull over to the right edge of the road as soon as possible. Stop and wait until the vehicle has passed or you are sure it is not approaching your direction. If pulling over to the right isn’t possible, slow down and create a clear path for the emergency vehicle. Always yield the right-of-way to police cars, fire engines, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles using sirens, bells, or flashing red lights.
