What must a driver do when an emergency vehicle is approaching?

Pull into the right shoulder
Speed up to get away
Proceed with caution
Come to a complete stop

The correct answer is: Pull into the right shoulder

When an emergency vehicle is approaching, the driver is required to pull over onto the right shoulder and stop in order to allow the emergency vehicle to pass safely. Option B is incorrect because the driver should not speed up and potentially cause a dangerous situation. Option C is incorrect because the driver should not proceed with caution and continue driving as if nothing is happening. Option D is incorrect because the driver should not come to a complete stop in the middle of the road, as this can also cause a hazardous situation for other drivers. Therefore, the best and safest course of action is to pull onto the right shoulder and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed.
