Blauw licht én sirene achter je. Wat nu? – Rijmaatje

Blue lights and a siren behind you. What now? Take a calm look at the traffic situation and first choose A, B, or C yourself.
A. Brake sharply
B. Make room calmly
C. Keep driving
The correct answer
B. Make room calmly
Make space safely and predictably for an emergency vehicle.
Why this matters during your driving lessons
By recognizing the situation early, you can act predictably and give yourself time to look properly. While practicing, say out loud what you see, who has priority, and what space you need.
Exam tip
Look far ahead, check your mirrors, and only make a decision once the whole situation is clear. Acting safely and in control is more important than reacting quickly.
