Right of way
Explanation
When a **non-priority vehicle** is performing an emergency service, such as taking a seriously ill person to the hospital, the driver may use acoustic and light signals to indicate the emergency situation. These signals may include the intermittent use of the horn and hazard lights. In these circumstances, other drivers must **facilitate the passage** of this vehicle, even if it is necessary to stop to allow it to proceed.
Although these vehicles are not officially emergency vehicles, like ambulances or police cars, the exceptional situation grants them **temporary priority** on the road. Therefore, it is important for other drivers to be aware of the urgency and act accordingly to allow the safe and quick passage of the vehicle in question.
