Emergency VehiclesDifficulty: 1/5
You are waiting at a side road marked with broken white ‘Give Way’ lines, trying to turn onto a main road. You hear a siren and see a blue-light emergency vehicle approaching along the main road. What should you do?
Explanation
The Highway Code Rule 172 states that where there is a ‘Give Way’ sign, a triangle road marking or broken white lines across the road, you MUST give way to traffic on the main road when emerging from a junction. An emergency vehicle using blue lights and sirens is still traffic on the main road and has priority. You should remain at the Give Way lines and wait for a safe gap, not pull out or block the main road, even to try to help the emergency vehicle.
