What should you do when you approach an emergency vehicle that is stopped with its lights on?

  1. Increase your speed

  2. Speed up and get around it

  3. Move to the furthest lane

  4. Stop and wait

The correct answer is: Move to the furthest lane

When approaching an emergency vehicle, it is important to slow down and proceed with caution. Option A and B (Increase your speed or speed up and get around it) are incorrect because they can put yourself and the emergency responders in danger. Speeding up can also make it difficult for the emergency vehicle to pass through traffic. Option D (Stop and wait) is incorrect as well because it can block the emergency vehicle's path. Therefore, option C (Move to the furthest lane) is the best choice as it provides space for the emergency vehicle to pass safely.
