The use of warning devices when responding to an alarm is essential and does not allow the driver to disregard other drivers

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only at night
• D. Only in urban areas

Answer: (A)

Warning devices—lights and sirens—are essential because they warn other road users that an emergency vehicle is approaching and help clear a path. Even with those warning devices activated, you must drive with due regard for safety and not disregard others’ right of way. You should yield, slow or stop as needed, and follow traffic signals and laws to the extent safety allows; the requirement isn’t limited by time of day or location.
