When an emergency vehicle with siren and lights approaches you, which step is recommended?

When an emergency vehicle with siren and lights approaches, you must yield by moving to the side of the road or onto the shoulder and stopping. This creates a clear, unobstructed path for the responders, allowing them to get to the scene quickly and safely. Speeding up or continuing as normal can block the lane and delay the vehicle, while honking doesn’t help and could startle other drivers. After the emergency vehicle passes, proceed with caution and resume driving when it’s safe.
