Question 2
An EMT asks you how he can decrease the chances of being involved in a collision when driving with lights and siren at night. Your advice would be:
A) It is safer to use your high beams with the lights and siren, so that oncoming cars can see you better.
B) If blinded by the lights of an oncoming car, look to the right side of the road and not at the car.
C) Flashing your high beams on and off when approaching another vehicle is a good way to alert him to your presence.
D) Keep all lights on your dashboard to the highest setting so that you can easily see the speedometer to monitor your speed.
