#1. When you're driving an ambulance in response to an emergency call, you are allowed to do which of the following?
If you are transporting a patient or responding to an emergency call, you may exceed posted speed limits and drive through red traffic lights or past stop signs if you give other drivers the appropriate warning. (Use both the flashing red lights and the siren to warn other drivers.) You may disregard rules and traffic control devices governing direction of movement or turning in specified directions.
