How should a driver react to emergency services vehicles with flashing blue lights and/or sirens on?

Correct Answer

Check their mirrors before looking for space to move aside.

Explanation: If you see any emergency vehicle approaching with lights and/or sirens activated; check your rear view mirrors to gauge the speed of the emergency vehicle/s and also look out for pedestrians; cyclists; motorcyclists and other road users. Indicate your intention to pull over. Pull over only in a space that has enough space for the emergency vehicle/s to pass safely. Move off safely with appropriate observations and signals after the emergency vehicle has passed.
