What must a driver do if they see an emergency vehicle approaching from behind?
Right of way
Explanation
When a driver observes that a vehicle is approaching from behind in **emergency service**, it is essential to **facilitate its passage**. This is because vehicles in emergency service, such as **ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks**, have **priority on all roads** when they are in an emergency situation.
- **Moving to the right** and, if necessary, **stopping** are recommended actions to allow these vehicles to pass without obstacles.
- These vehicles use **sirens and special lights** to indicate their emergency situation, which means that other drivers and pedestrians must yield to them immediately.
- Additionally, drivers of vehicles in emergency service can **drive faster** and are not required to follow traffic signals, except for the instructions of traffic officers. This reinforces the need for other drivers to move aside to avoid accidents and facilitate their work.
Therefore, the correct action is to **move aside or stop** to allow these vehicles to pass, thus ensuring they can perform their work efficiently and safely.
