Texas Drivers Ed Written Practice Test

When giving the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle you should speed up to avoid getting too close to the emergency vehicle.

1. True

2. False

3. Depends on traffic conditions

4. Only on highways

The correct answer is: False

The correct response is that you should not speed up when giving the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle. Instead, the proper action is to safely move to the side of the road or lane whenever possible and come to a complete stop. This allows the emergency vehicle to pass through without any obstructions. Increasing your speed can create dangerous situations, as it can limit your ability to react to changing conditions or potential hazards that may arise. It is best to maintain a safe and controlled speed while prioritizing the safety of both the emergency responders and other road users.
