What should you do if an emergency vehicle with flashing lights is behind you?

  1. Pull over to the left side of the road

  2. Speed up to get away

  3. Get in the left lane

  4. Stop in the center of the road

The correct answer is: Pull over to the left side of the road

If an emergency vehicle with flashing lights is behind you, it is important to safely and immediately move to the right side of the road and stop. This allows the emergency vehicle to pass safely without any obstructions. Speeding up to get away is dangerous and can cause accidents. Getting in the left lane or stopping in the center of the road can also obstruct the path of the emergency vehicle and delay their response to the emergency. Therefore, pulling over to the left side of the road is the best and safest option.
