Emergency VehiclesDifficulty: 1/5

You are driving at night and see blue flashing lights from an emergency vehicle behind you on a motorway. Reflective road studs are helping you keep in your lane. What should you do?

Explanation

The Highway Code (Rule 132) explains that reflective road studs may be used with white lines to improve visibility, especially at night or in poor weather. When an emergency vehicle approaches with blue flashing lights, you must stay in control, use the reflective studs and lane markings to maintain a steady course, and then move safely and calmly to the left when it is safe to do so. You should not brake harshly, swerve suddenly, stop in a live lane or speed up, as these actions can endanger you and other road users.
