An ambulance behind you has its siren and red lights on. What should you do?
The rule
Yield to police cars, fire engines and other emergency vehicles that are using a siren or flashing lights: pull over to the nearest edge of the road right away and stop until it passes, without blocking an intersection.
An emergency vehicle using its siren or flashing lights has the right of way. Pull over to the nearest edge of the road, stop, and wait until it has passed.
From the Official Florida Driver License Handbook, page 84. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
