A priority vehicle is driving while performing an emergency service. Are other drivers required to give way to it?
Right of way
Explanation
**Priority vehicles** are those that perform an **emergency service**, such as ambulances, police cars, fire trucks, and civil protection vehicles. When they are on urgent duty, they use **sirens and special lights** to indicate their priority on the road.
- **All drivers and pedestrians** must give way to them. This means they must **move to the right** and, if necessary, **stop** to allow the priority vehicle to pass without obstacles.
- Priority vehicles have the ability to **ignore certain traffic signals** and speed limits, as long as they do not endanger other road users. However, they must follow the instructions of traffic officers.
Therefore, it is essential that drivers pay attention to the signals of these vehicles and act quickly to facilitate their passage, even stopping if necessary.
