Which TWO of the following statements about emergency vehicles are correct? Select TWO
How you give way to an approaching emergency vehicle depends on whether you are at or near an intersection or elsewhere (Article 29(4) and (5) of the Road Traffic Act). Emergency vehicles must still take care for traffic safety when using their special privileges, and their use of warning lights and sirens is limited, so be suspicious of absolute statements.
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
Article 29(4) of the Road Traffic Act requires drivers to move clear of the intersection and stop temporarily when an emergency vehicle approaches at or near one, and paragraph 5 requires yielding the way elsewhere. Emergency vehicle drivers using the center or left side, or skipping a required stop, must take special care for traffic safety (paragraph 3). Outside their emergency purpose, they may not use flashing lights or sirens except for cases such as patrols and training (paragraph 6).
