Correct answer
- BSí.Yes.
Priority vehicles on an emergency call warn of their presence by using the flashing light and the special siren at the same time. However, their drivers may use the flashing light alone when not using the siren poses no danger to other road users. In that case, other road users must still treat them as priority vehicles and give way to them.
