What must you do now?

In German traffic, when there is a traffic jam on multi-lane roads such as the Autobahn and an emergency vehicle is approaching, all drivers are legally required to create an emergency corridor (Rettungsgasse). The rule is: vehicles in the leftmost lane must move as far to the left as possible, while all other vehicles move as far to the right as possible. This forms a clear lane in the middle for emergency services to pass through quickly.

You correctly selected "as far to the right as possible," which applies if you're not in the leftmost lane. If you are in the leftmost lane, you must move as far left as possible. This rule is important because it allows fire trucks, ambulances, and police to reach accident scenes or emergencies faster, potentially saving lives. Always remember: in traffic jams on highways, think about forming the emergency corridor early, even before an emergency vehicle arrives. This ensures everyone is prepared and the corridor is clear when needed.
