What should you do if an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights and sirens on?

When an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights and sirens, the appropriate action is to pull over to the side of the road and stop. This allows the emergency vehicle to pass safely and quickly, ensuring that it can respond to the situation requiring its urgent attention without obstruction.

Staying in your lane or ignoring the emergency vehicle is unsafe and could hinder the emergency response, potentially putting lives at risk. Speeding up to evade the emergency vehicle may create dangerous situations not only for yourself but also for other drivers and pedestrians. Stopping in your lane without pulling over could also impede traffic flow and create hazards for the emergency personnel who need to navigate through traffic. By pulling over and stopping, you are contributing to a safer environment for everyone involved.
