Questions Learners Have About Emergency Vehicle Priority

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Emergency Vehicle Priority, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Do I always have to give way to an emergency vehicle in the Netherlands?

Yes, all road users must at all times give priority to drivers of emergency vehicles that have active optical and sound signals. There are no exceptions to this rule according to Dutch traffic law.

Can I drive through a red light if an emergency vehicle is behind me?

No, you should only make room if it is safe and the emergency vehicle cannot pass otherwise. Driving through a red light onto an intersection can be very dangerous and cause a new hazard; waiting is often the safer option.

What should I do if an emergency vehicle approaches me on a roundabout?

If an emergency vehicle is behind you on a roundabout, continue driving on the roundabout until the emergency vehicle has left it. This allows for predictable movement and enables you to exit safely when appropriate.

What if giving way to an emergency vehicle would cause a dangerous situation?

It is crucial to give way safely. You must not cause a hinder or danger to other road users, or violate traffic rules, in the course of giving way to an emergency vehicle. Only make room if it is safe to do so, even if it means waiting for a better opportunity.

Do police vehicles always have priority in the Netherlands?

Police vehicles, like other emergency vehicles, have priority when they use both their optical (blue flashing lights) and sound signals (sirens). They may also ignore some traffic rules for good reason even without signals, but you only *must* give way when they have active lights and sirens.
