Question 65 of 554

In an uncontrolled intersection, is the driver of a vehicle obliged to give priority to a motor vehicle intended for firefighting, which is coming from the left, having in operation the special light and sound signalling?

A no, because also in this case the rule of the right priority applies;
B no, because the motor vehicle intended for firefighting does not belong to the category of motor vehicles with priority regime;
C yes.

Explanation

The motor vehicles belonging to the firefighters are authorized to use the special red light warning signals as well as the specific sound ones. When you approach the entrance of an intersection, simultaneously with a motor vehicle with priority traffic regime which has in operation the special red light warning means together with the specific sound signal, you are obliged to give it priority to pass, regardless whether this motor vehicle with priority traffic regime comes from a priority road or from a non‑priority road.
