What should you do if you are approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights flashing?

Slow down and proceed with caution.
Maintain your speed and continue driving.
Change lanes to provide space for the emergency vehicle.
Stop and wait for the emergency vehicle to move.

The correct answer is: Change lanes to provide space for the emergency vehicle.

When approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights flashing, it is important to change lanes to provide space for the emergency vehicle. This allows emergency personnel to safely carry out their duties without risking any harm to themselves or others. Option A, slowing down and proceeding with caution, may still leave insufficient space for the emergency vehicle, especially in heavy traffic. Option B, maintaining your speed and continuing to drive, is not safe as it can put you and others at risk of a collision. Option D, stopping and waiting for the emergency vehicle to move, is also incorrect as it may delay the emergency response and cause inconvenience to other drivers. Therefore, the best and most responsible option is to change lanes and provide enough space for the emergency vehicle to pass safely.
