Explanation
When an emergency vehicle with flashing lights and sirens is approaching from behind, you are required to yield the right-of-way. Safely pull over to the right edge of the road and come to a complete stop until the emergency vehicle passes. This ensures a clear path for the vehicle to respond to an emergency situation.
