May drivers of priority vehicles drive above the speed limits?
Right of way
Explanation
**Priority vehicles**, such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and civil protection vehicles, have the ability to **exceed speed limits** when they are on an **urgent service**. This is necessary to quickly reach the location where their assistance is required.
- These vehicles must **signal their arrival** using sirens and special lights, which grants them **right of way** on all roads. This means that other drivers and pedestrians must yield to them.
- Although they can exceed speed limits and are not required to follow all traffic signals, they must **ensure not to endanger** other road users, especially when passing through intersections or red lights.
Therefore, the correct answer is that drivers of priority vehicles can exceed speed limits **when necessary** to fulfill their urgent service.
