In Portuguese traffic law, what obligation do drivers have when approached by an emergency vehicle emitting optical and audible warning signals?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Yield way and pull over to the side of the road to clear passage
- Step 1: Emergency vehicle priority. Step 2. Article 64 requires all road users to clear the way and, if necessary, stop to facilitate the passage of emergency vehicles with active sirens and blue lights. Answer: Yield way and pull over to the side of the road to clear passage. Why not the others: Racing emergency vehicles is illegal; maintaining course can block vital rescue passage.
