Emergency VehiclesDifficulty: 2/5
You are driving behind an ambulance on an emergency call. It stops briefly on double yellow lines outside a shop with its blue lights flashing. What should you do if you want to stop as well?
Explanation
Under Highway Code Rule 238, you MUST NOT wait or park on yellow lines during their times of operation, and double yellow lines mean no waiting at any time. The presence or actions of an emergency vehicle do not give you permission to break parking or waiting restrictions. You must continue and only stop where it is legal and safe. You also MUST NOT stop on school entrance markings when upright signs show a prohibition of stopping, even to set down or pick up passengers.
