The special warning signals with light of BLUE colour, together with the sound ones, oblige you to give priority of passage, and in order to give priority of passage you must reduce the travelling speed and move as close as possible to the edge of the road, in the direction of travel, more exactly as close as possible to the curb or to the shoulder on the right side.
In the event that, for giving priority, it is necessary also to stop, you must do it. A good example would be the intersections in which stopping is needed in order to be able to give priority of passage to these motor vehicles with priority traffic regime.
It must be known that these motor vehicles with priority traffic regime are allowed to use the light signals without being accompanied by the sound ones, depending on the nature of the mission or on the traffic conditions, a situation in which the respective motor vehicle does not have priority traffic regime. But the opposite situation, to use only the sound signals, without being accompanied by the light ones, is not allowed to them.
The correct answer is: C
See legal articles from answer C.
