What should a driver do when ambulance or other emergency vehicle with flashing lights is approaching?

Pull over and park
Stop and proceed
Pull to the shoulder and stay there
Proceed cautiously

The correct answer is: Pull to the shoulder and stay there

When an emergency vehicle with flashing lights is approaching, it is important to pull over and stop your vehicle, if possible. This allows the emergency vehicle to safely pass by in order to reach their destination as quickly as possible. Option A, pulling over and parking, is incorrect as it does not specify staying at the shoulder and may interfere with the emergency vehicle's path. Option B, stopping and proceeding, is incorrect as you should not proceed until the emergency vehicle has passed. Option D, proceeding cautiously, is incorrect as this may cause delay or accidents for the emergency vehicle. The best course of action is to pull over to the shoulder and stay there until the emergency vehicle has passed.
