New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

An ambulance approaches from behind with lights and sirens on. What should you do?

The answer

  • Stop immediately where you are
  • Speed up to stay ahead of it
  • Move safely out of its path, pulling left if possible Correct
  • Continue normally — it will find a way around

Why that's the answer

You must give way to emergency vehicles using lights or sirens. Move safely out of the path — usually by pulling to the left — without stopping suddenly in a dangerous spot.
