Correct answer

  • ADebe respetar las normas de circulación, sobre todo en las intersecciones.It must obey the traffic rules, especially at junctions.
Explanation

A car taking a sick person somewhere urgently is not a priority (emergency) vehicle. It may warn others of its situation by sounding the horn intermittently and using the hazard warning lights, or by waving a handkerchief, but it must obey the traffic rules, especially at junctions (Article 70 of the General Traffic Regulations).
