A vehicle with flashing blue lights and siren sounding is approaching you from the rear. What is the right course of action now?

When a vehicle with flashing blue lights and a siren approaches from the rear, the appropriate actions according to German traffic regulations are to move over to the right side as far as possible and to reduce your speed.

Moving to the right allows emergency vehicles to safely pass, which is essential for their quick response. Reducing speed helps maintain control of your vehicle and ensures safety for yourself and others on the road. Stopping immediately can create hazards, especially if there are other vehicles behind you. Therefore, the combination of driving to the right and reducing speed is crucial to facilitate an unobstructed path for emergency services.
