Who has the right of way at emergency situations such as accidents?

In emergency situations, all drivers are required to yield to emergency vehicles. This is crucial to ensure that emergency responders can reach the scene of an accident or a situation that requires immediate attention as quickly as possible. Yielding not only allows emergency vehicles to pass safely but also helps maintain the flow of emergency response efforts, reducing potential hazards for everyone involved.

The law stipulates that when an emergency vehicle is using its lights and sirens, other vehicles must pull over to the side of the road and stop. This applies universally to all drivers, regardless of their own situation on the road. By prioritizing the passage of emergency vehicles, we help protect the safety of those who may be in danger and facilitate an effective response to emergencies.
