Arkansas Driving Permit Practice Test

If an emergency vehicle approaches while you are driving in a roundabout, you must:

1. Continue to your exit, pull over, and let the emergency vehicle pass

2. Stop immediately and wait for the emergency vehicle to pass

3. Speed up and exit the roundabout quickly

4. Continue driving in the roundabout until the emergency vehicle exits

The correct answer is: Continue to your exit, pull over, and let the emergency vehicle pass

When an emergency vehicle approaches while you are driving in a roundabout, it is important to prioritize the safety and clearance of the emergency vehicle. Choosing option A, which is to continue to your exit, pull over, and let the emergency vehicle pass, is the correct course of action. By doing so, you allow the emergency vehicle to pass through the roundabout quickly and safely, without causing any delays or obstruction. This option ensures the proper flow of traffic and allows emergency services to reach their destination efficiently. Options B, C, and D are not the appropriate actions to take when an emergency vehicle approaches in a roundabout. Stopping immediately (option B) may lead to a sudden obstruction and hinder the emergency vehicle's progress. Speeding up and exiting the roundabout quickly (option C) can be dangerous and may cause a collision with the emergency vehicle or other vehicles in the roundabout. Continuing to drive in the roundabout until the emergency vehicle exits (option D) delays the emergency vehicle and goes against the priority of allowing them to pass quickly and safely.
