Hey guys, As a new driver, I have a question about reacting to emergency vehicle coming from behind at the intersection area. I want to learn how to react correctly before I actually meet the situation and getting panic. I would really appreciate your answers, thank you! On the book, it says when it is safe to do so, change to the right lane and stay away from the intersection. if you are already turning ( in the intersection), abandon the turn and go straight to the other side of the intersection and change to the right lane, stop, and wait. However, I was wondering, if I was waiting behind the stop line (before going into the intersection area) for a red light on a left turn lane, or the middle lane for going straight, there is an emergency vehicle coming from behind, should I just stay there and wait, or should I move to the right? What if there is no space for me to move to the right? And what if there are altogether 3 lanes - left turn, middle, and right turn lane - all 3 lanes are occupied before the emergency vehicle arrives, what should these cars do on these three lanes? Again, thanks for helping me with this "new driver's confusion." :)

No one expects miracles if the other drivers manage to pull to the right then you should follow suit. If the vehicle comes in behind you and you are facing a red then carefully move into the intersection giving the vehicle room to pass, after it does do not proceed until you have a green light. When there is heavy traffic, often the emergency vehicle will avoid this scenario entirely by passing through the intersection from the left side of the road with lights and siren blaring after traffic comes to a stop.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
