Emergency vehicle can be one of the following:
• ambulance
• police vehicles
• fire engines and fire trucks
• search and rescue
• volunteer responders (fire fighters, search & rescue, and others
Sirens on emergency vehicles are loud, and these vehicle travel at high speeds. Therefore, it is important--and as soon as possible--that you locate the vehicle and take action to move out of the path of the emergency vehicle.
Emergency vehicles are the proverbial "fly in the ointment" of driver's road tests. Driving is a dynamic task, and emergency vehicles can appear at any time.
During a road test and all other times, drivers must pull over to the nearest edge of the road and stop. If you are waiting at an intersection and blocked in by other traffic, simply stay where you are. Often times the emergency vehicle will deviate into the other lanes of traffic to move through the intersection.
If a driver does not pull over for emergency vehicles during a road test, it is unlikely that she/he will be successful.
In other words, move to the closest shoulder: if you're driving in the right lane, move to the right; if you're driving in the left lane, move to the left side of the road.
If you’re at an intersection or roundabout, you may have to turn the corner of proceed through to make way for the emergency vehicle.
And keep in mind that emergency vehicles often travel in groups - so if there is one, there is often going to be another.
The only time that you don't have to pull over for emergency vehicle is on multi-lane highways where the lanes of traffic are divided by a concrete barrier or median that would make it impossible for the emergency vehicle to traverse onto the other side of the road.
Good luck on your road test!

I'm An Ambulance driver, thank you for this reiteration, I believe 90% plus of drivers in my area would fail a road test. Most try to out run you, or simply refuse to pull over.
Hi Joel Martin - Thank you for your insightful comment. And you are most welcome my friend. I'm always somewhat surprised by the number of "so-called" experienced driver--all CDL students have a license--that don't pull over for an emergency vehicle when taking driver training. All the best, Cheers Rick
Hi I had a question so, I drive pass the fire station all the time and it's right on an intersection where in this instance the emergency vehicles have to drive through the on coming traffic lane and into the lane I'd be in. The light turns green and other drivers move and then the emergency vehicles role out of the station and I'm kinda in the way of all this. I braked to a stop and put on my flashers but hadn't realized there was another one coming up behind me and began to move but repeated what I did above and let them pass as soon as i realized there was another. Did I mess up? There were cameras but I wasn't pulled over.
@@smartdrivetest just so you know if there a emergency vehicle, and your in a big truck and you sart going tot he right and there and mortorbike not expecting it, the will be the reason for him passing away
I’ve had that very scenario on a bicycle with a Greyhound bus. Angels saved me. It’s very important for large vehicle drivers to signal a minimum is 3 times, look & look again before moving over to guard against this kind of crash. Cheers Rick
@smartdrivetest Hello Rick! I've seen on your website that volunteer firefighters may use green lights. That is not true in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Prince Edward Island, as they use red lights.
Saskatchewan- Red lights and sirens for Volunteer Firefighters private cars (can claim emergency exemptions)
Manitoba- red lights and no sirens for Volunteer Firefighters private cars (can claim emergency exemptions)
Prince Edward Island- red lights for volunteer firefighters private cars (cannot claim emergency exemptions)
Alberta- Green lights and no sirens for Volunteer Firefighters private cars (no exemptions)
Ontario- green lights for Volunteer Firefighters private cars (no exemptions)
Quebec- green lights for VolunteerFirefighters private cars (no exemptions)
British Columbia- no lights or sirens for Volunteer Firefighters private cars (no exemptions)
Newfoundland and Laborador- no lights or sirens for Volunteer Firefighters private cars (no exemptions) (red lights and sirens for chief officers)
I was just thinking about this today, especially about what to do when in the left lane. Thanks Rick!
Hi Adam - Thank you for your comment. And you are most welcome; we're happy to hear that the information was useful. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
If you are at an intersection with a green light. Stop and don't move.
The emergency driver has a much better chance to decide what he's going to do if everybody else just remains stationary.
If.... And only if you can do so safely...turn to change lanes to tour right..or even turn right to get out of the way.
If you are at a RED light. Just don't move.
Your are under no OBLIGATION to move anywhere.
The laws do not give you the right to go through a red light. You might be able to change lanes or even turn right. But never through the red.
Sometimes there is not right action.
Hi Apple Tree - Thank you for your information. You are absolutely correct. If at a red light, simply stay put. All the best, Cheers Rick
But if the lane who has red light and the emergency vechiles cant pass you can ran a red light
I'm sitting at an intersection & emergency vehicle approaches.
I can stay in place, but I may have to turn right to make way for emergency vehicle.
Thanks *:)*
Hi No_ abe - Thank you for your comment. And you are most welcome. We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
thank you
Thanks❤❤
Another great video. May i just add that in many jurisdictions Volunteer responders also have lights. Technically courtesy lights, they can be all different colours and we would all greatly appreciate vehicles yielding to us. Not legally required in most jurisdictions, but still a good idea.
Unrelated, do you have complete series available?
Thank you, all the best.
Jake
Hi Jake - thank you for your comment and the great information. In the province of Ontario, Canada they use green lights for emergency responders. And as you stated, in many other places these are different colours. It is important for other motorists to move out of the way and allow these personnel to get to their destination as soon as possible. Thanks, Cheers Rick
Happy thanks giving rick
Hi Shella taj - Thank you for your wishes my friend. And to you and your family, all the best this Canadian Thanksgiving. Cheers Rick
In Australia you are required to pull to the left( we are right hand drive) and slow down to a crawl...they say not to stop completely as you may block a path they might be trying to get down.
Hi Ex Sparky - Thank you for your comment and information. Which state are you in there in Australia? If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Smart Drive Test I am in NSW Australia but I am certain that the rule applies Nationwide.
New South Wales, They have just introduced a new law that all vehicles approaching an emergency vehicle at the side of the road must reduce speed to 40 kph..this law starts at the end of this month.

Very informative video! Thank you for contributing to the community. I'm sure there are many others who find your videos extremely helpful. However, I am still a novice driver and have a few questions for you. I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge as I am new to this but that is why I am asking.
Say you're on a highway in the left lane closest to a median strip but you're unable to pull into the right lane and there are barriers preventing you from being able to pull off to the left. Is your best bet to come to a complete stop? Or are there alternatives to this? And how would I deal with this same scenario but on a busy street in a city centre?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Kal - thank you for your comment. You don't have to apologize for being new to driving and learning. Asking questions is a sign of wisdom. The best advice is to slow and move to the right as much as possible and as quickly as possible. It is advised not to stop on a busy highway. Often other traffic in the right lane will be moving over to the right, so you can simply slow and move over to the right as well. And if you can't move to either direction because you are stuck in the midst of traffic, it is best to just stay where you are. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Thank you for asking this. An ambulance passed me on the highway (80 km/h) today and I wasn't 100% sure what to do. I did slow down, but it was passed before I could really think of next steps.
Please I need your opinion: a friend of mine failed her driving test due to an emergency vehicle -ambulance- that was approaching from the other direction of the road, but neither sirens were on, nor flashing lights, nor driving fast like in an emergency, the ambulance was just passing by normally; my friend just reduced the speed and turned right but didn't stop completely and she failed the test because of this. What's your opinion? Even with no sirens/flash lights on must pull over and stop completely?
I see a whole bunch of various situations and questions. To answer all, you have to get out of the way as safely as possible. That might mean blowing the light, moving left or right, turning left or right (even if you had no plans on turning-but guess what? You can make a U-turn and get back on track to save someone’s life), or just staying put. All depends on the situation
I have a question. I was on a multi lane street at night with nobody else on it. I drove past a curve and saw an ambulance but I didn’t have enough time to stop completely so I only tried to slow down. I went into the farthest right lane I could go into, leaving about 4 lanes in between me and the oncoming Ambulance. I saw the camera flash at the intersection, am I getting a ticket for not stopping completely even though there were multiple lanes in between me and the ambulance?
Hi I had a question so, I drive pass the fire station all the time and it's right on an intersection where in this instance the emergency vehicles have to drive through the on coming traffic lane and into the lane I'd be in. The light turns green and other drivers move and then the emergency vehicles role out of the station and I'm kinda in the way of all this.

Did I mess up? There were cameras but I wasn't pulled over.
I can’t tell you how many times I have seen bad drivers not stoping for emergency vehicles and in some cases, the other drivers will stay right behind the ambulance to get through heavy traffic, which is illegal.
Do I still come to a complete stop at a stop sign if there is an emergency vehicle behind me with lights/sirens on? Should I treat it as a yield?
In a 3 lane highway situation with the emergency vehicle approaching from ahead, and the center being a turning lane, is it more or less acceptable to slow down or come to a stop when in the far oncoming lane?
Hi Wise Snake - Apologies for the late response. Thank you for your comment and query. You definitely want to come to a complete stop on a road test. At other times, watch the traffic and definitely slow down and stop if possible. In some cases you just won't get stopped before the emergency vehicle passes. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
An experienced situation :
There was a concentration vehicles on the stop line while the traffic light was red, meanwhile the emergency ambulance was behind us what we can do in this case?
Thanks
Hi hichem ben jazia - that's an excellent question. If the vehicles can't move to create a path for the emergency vehicle, as you describe - then remain stopped. The emergency vehicle will make it's way around the vehicles, but if vehicle are moving all over the place, then the emergency vehicle has to dodge other vehicles, so best to remain stationary. Thanks Cheers Rick
You can ran a red light to give way if the emergency vechile can't passed
I still dont get it. Do we pull over to whichever curbside is closer to us?? What if we are in the middle and both cubs are 2-3 lanes apart?
4 lane road separated by painted medium not concrete barriors, not a highway,do you pull over when emergency vehicle is going in opposite direction?
Hi Umphstein - Thank you for your comment and query. Yes, you do pull over when there is a painted median. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Here in Ontario Canada, it is over 500.00 fine if you don't stop for flashing lights.
Which I think is a good thing someone's life is at hand get out of the way.
What do you if your behind the stop line of a traffic light and the light is red? I remained stopped into the ambulance passed
Hello, just a question. If I am in the center lane, and I stop at a ref light, and the emergency vehicle is behind me, what do I do? Do I move to the right, or do I just stay stopped?
Hi John smoke - most of the time you simply stay put; in other words, don't move. You only need to move if other vehicles are attempting to clear a path for the emergency vehicle; but most of the time if you're at a red light and waiting, you can just stay put. If there's anything else we can do, drop us a note. All the best, Cheers Rick
You stay exactly where you are, unless the EV can not go around you
Excellent tip and I'm not sure if this is applicable if the emergency vehicle is on the opposite side without any dividing strip. This happened to me yesterday when I was coming home from a school pickup on Strikers Road at RT-57 in Phillipsburg,NJ
Hi EpicThe112 - thank you for your comment and query. Are you asking if you have to pull over in that instance? If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Smart Drive Test thanks for the tip. I'm not sure if I had to pull over or stop with an emergency volunteer vehicle with it's siren after a green light on a light controlled intersection.
Hi EpicThe112 - it's not the law, but it is a courtesy and greatly appreciated by these personnel. It's like stopping for a funeral procession. All the best, Cheers Rick
how about if you’re on the center lane and there’s no space for you to merge into the right lane?
Hi Momo - Thank you for your query. Some times your best course of action when being approached by an emergency vehicle is to just stop. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
I just failed my road test today due to not stopping for ambulance. 😒 never had a chance to encounter an emergency vehicle during the practice sessions n so I sort of did not realise that I was supposed to stop , so I didn’t. Everything else was great. Had that ambulance not come during my road test today, I would have passed is what the examiner told 😢😭
Hi PMP Professional - Thank you for your for letting us know. Sorry to hear about your unsuccessful attempt. We're confident that you'll get your license on the next attempt. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

@@smartdrivetest thank you for your reply n support.
Emergency vehicles are covered on the written test so you should have known.
Hey, I have a question my light was green and the cop was merging on traffic to the right had its sirens on should I stop before he merged or continue to pass through?
Hi MarcusMLG - Thank you for your comment and query. Was the police cruiser merging into your traffic, or the traffic on the cross-street? All the best, Cheers Rick
Smart Drive Test he was merging into my traffic coming from my right side. I just want to know if I should yield considering my light was green by the time I saw him.
Hi MarcusMLG - Apologies for the late response. Thank you for your response. Yes, if you're in the intersection and the police cruiser had the light's activated, you should probably have seen him before entering the intersection and then simply stopped and not proceeded through the intersection. This part of driving is about overall awareness, which can be difficult my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
Do I have to pull over if the emergency vehicle is in the same direction but not on my lane? How about if it is in opposite direction separate by the yellow line to me? Do I still have to pull over?
Hi hala Siuhala - Apologies for the late response. Thank you for your comment and query. The only time that you don't have to pull over is when the emergency vehicle is on the other side of the road and the roadway is separated by a physical median. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
You must stop..but how Many time.. thanks great videos
Hi ferdinand awn - Thank you for your query. I don't fully understand your question my friend - please reword. All the best, Cheers Rick
If an emergency vehicle is approaching from behind and you are on a highway or interstate going 40+ MPH, should you come to a stop on the shoulder? And if you are in the left lane, would you stop or try to pull over on the right shoulder, or should you not stop at all because ambulances will take the right lane?
Hi A X - thanks for your comment and great question. You still have to pull over and attempt to stop; however, due to the higher road speeds it's unlikely that you're going to come to a complete stop before the emergency vehicle is past. It is a difficult situation and you need to keep an eye on the vehicles behind you because those drivers may or may not see the emergency vehicle and my drive right past you. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
In Vermont, you attempt to pull over into the right lane. You do not stop unless absolutely NECESSARY
I was at an intersection in the left turning lane, on a red light. Two fire trucks were approaching behind me with sirens and lights on. I knew they were going to be turning left because a fire truck had turned left a few moments before I got there. The green arrow to turn left started flashing and I decided to go, but turned into the far right lane to give them space. Was that the right thing to do or should I have just stopped and not turned? In my rear view mirror it looked like the fire trucks were coming directly behind me in the left lane, I made a split decision to get out of their way.
Hi Ursula Kelly - Thank you for your question. Without being there it's difficult to give you counsel. However, most of the time it's best to simply stay in place. All the best, Cheers Rick
You have to get out of the way as safely as possible
I see that almost NO ONE knows what to do in this situation. And I’m also seeing that people are more worried about being popped by a F’n red light camera (which is fightable) than allowing an emergency vehicle through.
Hi Rick. What if I was supposed to go through the intersection n due to the ambulance if I cross the intersection n then pull over, will that be okay?
At intersections it’s often best to just stop. The emergency vehicle will go into the other lane to go through the intersection. Or you can turn right and stop. Those are your 2 best options. Cheers Rick
If you are in the middle lane at a red light and an emergency vehicle is behind you responding, can you enter the intersection to make room for it or does that count as running the red light?
You do whatever you have to do to get out of the way. A red light camera ticket is fightable because the video will show the ambulance behind you. If a cop is there, they will also see the ambulance.
So say Im at a 4-way intersection. Im thr first car stopped at a red light trying to turn left in the second turning lane (the outside left lane). I then hear sirens, and finally see the emergency lights behind the line of cars behind me. The emergency vehicle is trying to turn left, but he cant drive over to the other half of the street because it blocked off.
Is this a situation where I would go, even tho the red lights are still on?
What if the other side of the street was blocked off by just a large grass mound... and not a line of trees to where the emergency vehicle cannot drive through it?
Would the answer be the same if the lights turned green?
Hi xiholliday - it's not your job to second guess the emergency vehicle. In most instances at an intersection, you best option is to just stop. Or if you're at the head of the queue, go around the corner and stop. See this vid too: th-cam.com/video/A45ZB-qXTco/w-d-xo.html Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
I like his point, but he made a serious mistake. If you are sitting at an intersection (red light), The PROPER thing to do is NOT move. Moving can cause an accident. The ONLY time this is different is if the emergency vehicle can NOT go around you
Scott Campbell - Thank you for your comment. In some cases your are correct; however, in other instances it is better to turn the corner to clear the path for the emergency vehicle. As with so many skills and abilities in driving, there is not just one right answer. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
That’s exactly what happened to me and there was no room for it to go into
Would you please put the law or statute, we’re you are getting this claim of stopping of to the side of the road?
Just to let you know here in upstate New York you have to pull over for Ruckers move out of the way for ambulance firetrucks and police cars to move over law is in effect in upstate New York you don’t move over you get it you get $100 fine and $75 surcharge
If we are in a city, and an emergency vehicle siren is heard, but we cannot figure out where the hell is the vehicle, and also im on the far left lane...and all lanes have traffic. What should I do for both of my problems? Do I come to a complete stop OR go more left near the center line? I am confused. I have many more questions as IM a new driver. How can I call or email you?
Hi Dipin Dhingra - Thank you for your comment and query. If you are confused as to where the emergency vehicle is, watch the other traffic. Often the other traffic will move if the emergency vehicle is behind you. Also, move to the closest shoulder. You don't always have to move to the outside. And some times you just have to stop. If you have further questions: rick@smartdrivetest.com If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest closest shoulder means the curb or the center line within the city?
Hi Dipin Dhingra - Thank you for your comment and query. And yes, that is correct - the curb or the centre of the roadway is going to be your closest shoulder. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest Thank you very much. You are a great person helping the society. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hi Dipin Dhingra - Thank you for your comment and good wishes. All the best to you and your family, Love Rick
40 mph, 3 lanes going, 3 coming and a center turn lane. I'm on the inside lane. Ambulance turns into the oncoming lane, only about half a football field away. Do I stop? I hit my emergency flashers n stopped but the other 2 lanes didn't.
If you stopped and activated your four-ways, then you probably did the right thing my friend. You're going to find that a lot of other drivers won't stop. All the best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest thank you for the knowledge.
🖖
I want to ask why do ambulance go the opposite lane?
what if you are on a two-lane road and the emergency vehicle is on the right side, but you are on the left side. What would you do then? (there is no barrier and you and the emergency vehicle are heading the same directon) . Thanks
Hi Cailyn Bond - Thank you for your comment. If you are in the left lane, move over to the left as far as possible and come to a stop. There are going to be times that you can't get to the right or the left, and stopping may be your best option. Be sure that you check the traffic to the rear because other drivers may not see or hear the emergency vehicle and not expect you to stop. Don't move over for an emergency vehicle at the risk of a crash. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Okay thanks! Also thank you for all your other videos... they helped me pass my driving test today!!!!
I’m a new driver and have been out for lessons with my instructor a few time and this never happened. The first time I drive with my husband, a police car is approaching from the opposite side of traffic on a city street with 2 lanes of going in either direction. I’m in the left lane wanting to turn left at the next intersection. I see the police car coming and signal to pull over. NO ONE in my lane or the right lane beside me stopped! I couldn’t believe it. I braked early and stopped in the left lane with all the cars behind me and beside me zooming past. I’m lucky I didn’t get rear ended
Hi Sarah F - Thank you for your comment and great story. It is important for sure - be sure that other traffic comes to a stop as well, otherwise you could risk your own saftey - as you point out. Thanks you. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
It happened to me , I slowed down and drove on the far right lane , the emergency vehicle was on the first lane far from me , and I failed the test.
same thing just happened to me on friday and i’ve been getting chewed out ever since. that’s the reason i’m watching this video 😒 hopefully i can take it again some time next week but this lady never answers the phone until days later. it’s crazy how if we would have started a minute earlier or later i could be getting my license on monday but nope. oh well it’s a good learning experience
While on a highway, if an emergency vehicle is approaching from behind me, am I to pull to the right lane a completely stop? Or can I pull to the right and slow down, allowing the emergency vehicle to pass?
Hi Dave Marishka Fair - thanks for your query & comment. Most of the time on the highway, you don't have to come to a complete stop. Often, if you move over to the right and slow, the emergency vehicle will be past by the time you get slowed down. And be sure that you watch out for other vehicles because they can run you down and not slow or move over. So getting back on the highway or freeway can be tricky at best. All the best, Cheers Rick
What If The Police Pull You Over
Hi Byron Chavarria - Thank you for your comment and query. Be polite, follow directions, keep you hands in view, and tell the police officer before reaching for anything inside the vehicle. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Come out shooting and yell. "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE COPPER!"
Wait even when their is no traffic I have to stop. I'm on 2 way street I see emergency vehicle. I will gladly stop to let him by but no one is in front of him I have to pull into a ditch????????
Hi Team Element - thanks for your comment and query. No, you don't have to pull into the ditch. You simply have to pull off the road--to the closest shoulder--and slow or stop. Often the emergency vehicle will be by you before you get your vehicle stopped. If you're on a road test be sure that you bring the vehicle to a stop as soon as humanely possible, otherwise it's an automatic fail. Once you get stopped, then it's that task of the emergency vehicle driver to weave his/her way through the traffic. All the best, Cheers Rick
Hi Rick, thanks for the great videos. I’m confused. If driving on a road/main highway, if an emergency vehicle approaches behind you, do you turn to your right lane and stop or if you’re on the right lane, do you slow down and wait till the emergency vehicle passes you
Hi Azam Sorathia - Apologies for the late response. Thank you for your query. If you're on a highway, I would suggest getting over to the right lane to clear a path for the emergency vehicle. In my experience, stopping puts you in conflict with other traffic because often other traffic doesn't stop, so I would council you to slow. If you're on a road test however, be sure to stop. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Smart Drive Test thanks a lot Rick. This makes it a lot more clearer.
Hi Azam Sorathia - you are most welcome my friend, All the best, Cheers Rick
