What should you do if an emergency vehicle is approaching from behind?

When an emergency vehicle is approaching from behind, the appropriate action is to pull over to the right side of the road and come to a complete stop. This response allows the emergency vehicle to pass safely and quickly, as they often need to reach their destination as soon as possible in order to respond to emergencies. Stopping ensures that you are not obstructing their path and provides a clear and safe passage for the emergency responders.

Merging into the left lane or continuing to drive can create confusion and potentially block the path of the emergency vehicle. Similarly, signaling for the emergency vehicle to pass may not be effective or safe, as they typically need an unobstructed route rather than relying on drivers to maneuver around them. Therefore, pulling over to the right and stopping is the safest and most responsible action to take in this situation.
