In Norwegian traffic rules (Vegtrafikkloven), what must a driver do when an emergency vehicle with blue flashing lights and acoustic siren approaches from behind (§ 10 Trafikkreglene)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Pull over to the right and stop if necessary

  1. Step 1: Under § 10 nr. 1, drivers must immediately give free passage (gi fri veg) to emergency vehicles displaying blue emergency signals. Answer: Pull over to the right and stop if necessary. Why not the others: the alternative options do not conform to statutory traffic regulations under the Norwegian Road Traffic Act (Vegtrafikkloven and Trafikkreglene).
