If you are driving on a one-way street and an emergency vehicle using its flashing lights approaches your vehicle, you must:

1. Drive with your flashers turned on.
2. Drive toward the nearest roadside and stop. ✓
3. Speed up and take the nearest exit.
4. Slow down until the vehicle passes you.

Answer: B. Drive toward the nearest roadside and stop.

You must drive toward the nearest roadside and stop.

Why this is the answer

The Texas handbook says you have to yield to police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles that are sounding a siren, bell, or flashing red light. When traffic allows, pull to the right edge of the road and stop. If you cannot pull to the right, slow down and leave a clear path. The question's one-way street detail is not covered in this passage, but the handbook's direction to get out of the emergency vehicle's way and stop supports the roadside-and-stop choice.

Why the other answers are wrong

• A. Drive with your flashers turned on. — Turning on your flashers is not what the handbook tells you to do to yield to an emergency vehicle.
• C. Speed up and take the nearest exit. — Speeding up and taking an exit does not yield the right-of-way and is not the handbook's instruction to pull over or clear a path.
• D. Slow down until the vehicle passes you. — Slowing down alone is only the fallback when you cannot pull over; the handbook first says to pull to the right edge and stop.

Remember it

Think: siren or flashing red light means get right and stop, not race ahead.
