Question 1Traffic regulations and road signs

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, what is the general speed limit for passenger cars on an ordinary road outside a built-up area, unless a sign indicates otherwise?

  1. 50 km/h
  2. 80 km/h Correct answer.
  3. 130 km/h
  4. 100 km/h

Explanation

Under the road traffic rules applied in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the default limit for cars outside settlements is 80 km/h unless a traffic sign sets a different value. Built-up areas are governed by a separate lower default limit, and motorways carry higher limits. Drivers must therefore always check signs, because a posted limit overrides the general rule.

Question 2Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the default maximum speed for a passenger car in a built-up area when no sign shows a different limit?

  1. 50 km/h Correct answer.
  2. 40 km/h
  3. 30 km/h
  4. 60 km/h

Explanation

Inside settlements the general default limit for cars is 50 km/h, and this applies unless a sign prescribes another value. Many zones near schools, hospitals or residential areas are signed at 30 km/h, which then replaces the default. The driver must obey the lower posted figure whenever one exists.

Question 3Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver approaches a steady red traffic light at an intersection. What is the correct behaviour?

  1. Sound the horn and continue
  2. Slow down and proceed with care
  3. Stop only if other vehicles are present
  4. Stop before the stop line and wait for green Correct answer.

Explanation

A steady red light obliges the driver to stop before the stop line, or before the intersection if no line is marked, and to remain stopped. Proceeding is permitted only when the signal changes or when a police officer directs otherwise. Careful slow driving does not replace the duty to stop.

Question 4Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a flashing yellow traffic light at an intersection mean for the driver?

  1. Proceed with extra caution, respecting priority rules Correct answer.
  2. Stop and wait for the next green phase
  3. Treat the intersection as closed
  4. Proceed at full speed because you have priority

Explanation

A flashing yellow signal does not assign priority to anyone; it warns that the intersection is controlled only by the general priority rules. The driver must approach carefully, reduce speed and yield where required. It is not a stop signal, but neither does it grant the right of way.

Question 5Traffic regulations and road signs

A police officer stands at an intersection with an arm raised vertically. How should approaching drivers react?

  1. Turn left immediately as directed
  2. Ignore the officer and follow the light instead
  3. Continue because the officer is only greeting traffic
  4. Stop, since the raised arm means all traffic must halt Correct answer.

Explanation

A vertically raised arm by an officer directing traffic signals all approaching vehicles to stop. Instructions given by an authorised officer take precedence over traffic lights and signs. Drivers must therefore halt and wait until the officer gives a new signal.

Question 6Traffic regulations and road signs

When may a driver lawfully cross a continuous (solid) white line on the roadway?

  1. To overtake a slow truck on a straight stretch
  2. Never, under any circumstances
  3. Only when avoiding an obstacle or when directed by a sign or officer Correct answer.
  4. Whenever the lane ahead is slower

Explanation

A continuous white line may not be crossed for overtaking or lane changes because it marks a section where such manoeuvres are unsafe. The exceptions are avoiding a genuine obstacle and following the direction of a sign or an officer. In those cases the driver may cross while ensuring it is safe.

Question 7Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the meaning of a broken (dashed) white centre line on a two-way road?

  1. Overtaking and lane changes are permitted when safe Correct answer.
  2. The road is one-way in your direction
  3. Stopping is prohibited at all times
  4. You must drive exactly on the line

Explanation

A dashed white centre line indicates that crossing it is allowed, for example to overtake or change lanes, provided the manoeuvre is safe and visibility is adequate. It does not by itself forbid stopping. The driver must still judge traffic, sight distance and any other signs before crossing.

Question 8Traffic regulations and road signs

A triangular sign with a red border and a black symbol inside generally conveys what kind of information?

  1. A service facility location
  2. A prohibition that must never be violated
  3. A warning of a hazard ahead Correct answer.
  4. A mandatory instruction to follow

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border are warning signs, alerting drivers to a danger such as a bend, crossing or narrowing ahead. They call for reduced speed and increased attention rather than an absolute ban. Prohibitions are shown on circular signs, and mandatory instructions also use circular formats.

Question 9Traffic regulations and road signs

What do circular signs with a red border and a symbol inside normally indicate?

  1. A prohibition or restriction Correct answer.
  2. A warning of danger ahead
  3. A recommended route
  4. A motorway entrance

Explanation

Circular signs with a red ring state prohibitions or restrictions, such as a speed limit, a no-entry rule or a ban on overtaking. The symbol inside identifies the specific restriction. Warning signs, by contrast, are triangular with a red border.

Question 10Traffic regulations and road signs

A round blue sign shows a white bicycle. What does it require?

  1. A path reserved for cyclists, which other vehicles must not use Correct answer.
  2. Cyclists are prohibited from the path
  3. Cycling is recommended but optional
  4. Cyclists must give way to cars

Explanation

Round blue signs give mandatory instructions, and a bicycle symbol means the route is reserved for cyclists. Other road users may not use that path unless a supplementary plate allows them. It is not merely a recommendation but a binding designation.

Question 11Traffic regulations and road signs

You are driving and see a sign showing a red circle with a white horizontal bar on a red background at the entrance to a street. What does it mean?

  1. Parking prohibited
  2. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
  3. One-way street in your direction
  4. Stop and give way

Explanation

The no-entry sign, a red disc with a white horizontal bar, forbids entry for vehicles from that direction. It is typically placed at the exit end of a one-way street. Drivers must choose another route rather than proceed.

Question 12Traffic regulations and road signs

At an intersection without any signs or signals, two vehicles arrive at the same time from different directions. Which rule generally decides who goes first?

  1. The vehicle that sounds its horn first has priority
  2. The faster vehicle has priority
  3. The larger vehicle always has priority
  4. The vehicle coming from the right has priority Correct answer.

Explanation

Where no signs or signals regulate an intersection, the general priority rule gives the right of way to the vehicle approaching from the right. This rule applies only when the vehicles reach the intersection at approximately the same time. Vehicle size, speed and horn use play no role in establishing priority.

Question 13Traffic regulations and road signs

You intend to turn left at an intersection while an oncoming vehicle is going straight ahead. Who has priority?

  1. You, because you are turning
  2. Whoever enters the intersection first
  3. The vehicle with more passengers
  4. The oncoming vehicle going straight Correct answer.

Explanation

A driver turning left across the path of oncoming traffic must yield to vehicles coming from the opposite direction that continue straight or turn right. The turning driver crosses their path and therefore bears the duty to wait. Only a sign or signal giving priority to the turn would change this.

Question 14Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver wants to turn right from a road into a side street where pedestrians are crossing the entry. What must the driver do?

  1. Proceed because vehicles have priority over pedestrians
  2. Drive around the pedestrians on the pavement
  3. Sound the horn and continue
  4. Stop and allow the pedestrians to cross Correct answer.

Explanation

When turning into a side road, the driver crosses a pedestrian path and must give way to pedestrians already crossing or about to cross. The turn must be made at low speed with a proper check of the mirrors and blind spot. Pedestrians are not required to yield to a turning vehicle.

Question 15Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the correct action when an emergency vehicle with flashing blue lights and a siren approaches from behind?

  1. Speed up to stay ahead of it
  2. Continue at the same speed and lane position
  3. Give way by moving aside safely or stopping where appropriate Correct answer.
  4. Brake sharply in your lane and stop immediately

Explanation

Drivers must clear the way for an emergency vehicle using blue lights and a siren. The right response is to move aside or stop safely so it can pass, without abrupt braking that could cause a collision. Blocking or racing the vehicle is both dangerous and unlawful.

Question 16Traffic regulations and road signs

How should a driver use a roundabout that has a sign requiring traffic to circulate counter-clockwise?

  1. Stop inside the roundabout to let others enter
  2. Always signal left on exit
  3. Enter in either direction depending on convenience
  4. Give way to traffic already circulating and drive counter-clockwise Correct answer.

Explanation

At a signed roundabout, drivers must follow the prescribed direction of circulation and yield to vehicles already on the ring. In Bosnia and Herzegovina traffic keeps right, so circulation is counter-clockwise. Signalling should indicate the intended exit, and stopping inside the ring is unsafe.

Question 17Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a yellow diamond sign with a white border indicate?

  1. A priority road on which you have the right of way at intersections Correct answer.
  2. A compulsory stop ahead
  3. A pedestrian zone
  4. An end of a motorway

Explanation

The yellow diamond marks a priority road, meaning traffic on it has the right of way at intersections over vehicles from side roads. A black diagonal bar across the same sign announces the end of that priority. It does not require stopping or indicate a pedestrian zone.

Question 18Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver is overtaking a cyclist on a narrow road outside a built-up area. Which rule applies?

  1. No lateral clearance is needed if the cyclist stays near the edge
  2. The driver must always sound the horn before passing
  3. Overtaking a cyclist is forbidden everywhere
  4. The driver must keep a safe lateral distance and may cross the centre line only if permitted Correct answer.

Explanation

When overtaking a cyclist, the driver must leave a safe lateral clearance, which in practice means a distance of at least about one metre and more at higher speeds. The centre line may be crossed only where markings and visibility allow it. Horn use is limited to warning of danger and is not a general requirement.

Question 19Traffic regulations and road signs

Where is overtaking prohibited regardless of markings?

  1. On a downhill section with a guardrail
  2. On a road with two lanes in your direction
  3. On a pedestrian crossing and immediately before it Correct answer.
  4. On a straight road with clear visibility

Explanation

Overtaking is forbidden on and immediately before a pedestrian crossing, because a pedestrian may step out hidden by the vehicle being passed. The rule protects people crossing and applies even where markings might otherwise allow a manoeuvre. Visibility and lane configuration in other situations must be judged separately.

Question 20Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the maximum permitted blood alcohol concentration for an ordinary experienced driver in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

  1. 0.08 percent
  2. 0.03 percent Correct answer.
  3. 0.05 percent
  4. Zero tolerance for all drivers

Explanation

The general limit for experienced drivers is 0.03 percent blood alcohol, which is a very low threshold. Certain groups, such as novice and professional drivers, are subject to stricter rules. Any alcohol impairs judgement, so the safest approach is not to drink before driving at all.

Question 21Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver's vehicle is involved in a collision in which a person is injured. What is the driver's first duty?

  1. Stop, secure the scene and provide or arrange first aid and call emergency services Correct answer.
  2. Exchange details only if the other driver asks
  3. Leave the scene to fetch a lawyer
  4. Drive to the nearest police station without stopping

Explanation

After a collision with injuries, the driver must stop immediately, secure the site against further accidents and give or arrange first aid. Emergency services must be called, and the police informed. Fleeing the scene is a serious offence.

Question 22Traffic regulations and road signs

When must a driver use dipped headlights during the day?

  1. When visibility is reduced, for example in fog, heavy rain or a tunnel Correct answer.
  2. Only at night
  3. Never, because daytime running lights are sufficient
  4. Only when overtaking

Explanation

Dipped headlights are required whenever visibility is significantly reduced, such as in fog, heavy rain, snowfall or when driving through a tunnel. They make the vehicle visible to others and improve the driver's own view. Daytime running lights alone are not sufficient in these conditions.

Question 23Traffic regulations and road signs

When may a driver use front fog lights?

  1. Whenever driving at night on a lit road
  2. At any time to look sporty
  3. Only when parked
  4. Only in conditions of seriously reduced visibility such as fog or heavy precipitation Correct answer.

Explanation

Front fog lights are intended for seriously reduced visibility, such as fog, heavy rain or snow. Using them in clear conditions can dazzle other drivers and is not permitted. Rear fog lights are even more restricted because of their intensity.

Question 24Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver wishes to park on a road inside a settlement. Which rule governs where parking is allowed?

  1. Parking on pedestrian crossings is allowed briefly
  2. Parking is allowed anywhere as long as the engine is off
  3. Parking against the flow of traffic is always permitted
  4. Parking is allowed only where it does not obstruct traffic and is not prohibited by signs or markings Correct answer.

Explanation

Parking is lawful only where it does not endanger or obstruct other road users and where no sign or marking forbids it. Places such as pedestrian crossings, junctions and bus stops are excluded. The driver must also ensure the vehicle is visible and does not block access.

Question 25Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a sign showing a red circle with the number 40 inside mean?

  1. The maximum permitted speed is 40 km/h Correct answer.
  2. The minimum permitted speed is 40 km/h
  3. Parking is limited to 40 minutes
  4. The road is 40 metres wide

Explanation

A red-ringed circle containing a number sets a maximum speed limit, here 40 km/h, which applies until it is cancelled by another sign or by leaving the zone. Minimum speeds are shown on blue circular signs. The number never refers to distance or time.

Question 26Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a circular blue sign with a white pedestrian symbol generally require of drivers?

  1. It indicates a footpath that vehicles may never enter
  2. It designates a crossing point where pedestrians have priority Correct answer.
  3. It marks a pedestrian zone where driving is forbidden at all times
  4. It warns of pedestrians who may be working on the road

Explanation

Blue circular signs give positive instructions or identify facilities. A blue circle with a pedestrian symbol identifies a place where pedestrians cross and therefore enjoy priority over turning and passing vehicles, so drivers must slow down and give way.

Question 27Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the general meaning of a red-bordered triangle containing a symbol of two children?

  1. A kindergarten bus stop is located ahead
  2. A pedestrian crossing is located exactly at the sign
  3. Children are forbidden to walk along this road
  4. A school or children's playground is nearby, so reduce speed Correct answer.

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border are warning signs. The children symbol warns that a school, playground or other place where children gather is near, so the driver should expect unpredictable behaviour and reduce speed.

Question 28Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver approaches an intersection where a traffic officer stands with both arms extended horizontally sideways. What does this signal mean?

  1. Only vehicles turning right may proceed
  2. Traffic may proceed from all directions simultaneously
  3. Traffic approaching from the front and from behind the officer must stop Correct answer.
  4. Traffic from the sides the officer is facing must stop

Explanation

With arms stretched out to the sides, the officer's body blocks the directions he faces and the direction behind him. Vehicles coming from in front of him and from behind him must stop, while traffic from the sides may pass.

Question 29Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the meaning of a yellow diamond-shaped sign with a white border?

  1. A place where stopping is prohibited
  2. The start of a built-up area
  3. A compulsory direction of travel ahead
  4. A priority road that other traffic must respect Correct answer.

Explanation

The yellow diamond with a white border marks a priority road. Drivers on it have the right of way at intersections until the priority is cancelled by an end-of-priority sign, a stop sign or a yield sign.

Question 30Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver sees a red-bordered circular sign showing a black car inside. What does this sign require?

  1. Motor vehicles must use this road only in winter
  2. Motor vehicles are prohibited from continuing past the sign Correct answer.
  3. Motor vehicles must give way to oncoming traffic
  4. Motor vehicles must switch on headlights

Explanation

A red-bordered circle is a prohibition sign. A car symbol inside it means that motor vehicles, apart from any exceptions shown on an additional plate, may not proceed beyond the sign.

Question 31Traffic regulations and road signs

How is a roundabout marked with a blue circular sign showing three white arrows in a circle normally used?

  1. Traffic circulates in either direction as chosen by each driver
  2. Traffic may only enter the roundabout when the exit is clear
  3. Traffic circulates clockwise and entering vehicles have priority
  4. Traffic circulates counter-clockwise and entering vehicles must give way Correct answer.

Explanation

The blue circular sign with arrows in a ring prescribes the direction of circulation, which in Bosnia and Herzegovina is counter-clockwise. Traffic already circulating has priority, so entering drivers must yield.

Question 32Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver approaches a sign bearing the word STOP at an intersection with good visibility in all directions. What is required?

  1. Stop only if another vehicle is approaching
  2. Stop completely, then proceed when the way is clear Correct answer.
  3. Slow down and proceed without stopping
  4. Stop only if a pedestrian is waiting to cross

Explanation

The STOP sign imposes an unconditional obligation to come to a complete halt at the marked line or at the edge of the intersecting road. Only after stopping may the driver proceed, and only after giving way to traffic on the priority road.

Question 33Traffic regulations and road signs

At an intersection controlled by traffic lights, the light turns amber as a driver is already too close to stop safely. What should the driver do?

  1. Sound the horn and accelerate sharply
  2. Continue through the intersection with care Correct answer.
  3. Reverse away from the intersection
  4. Brake hard immediately in all circumstances

Explanation

An amber light means stop unless the vehicle is so close that stopping would be unsafe. In that case the driver should continue through the intersection carefully, watching for traffic and pedestrians.

Question 34Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a green arrow pointing left, displayed together with a red light at an intersection, allow a driver to do?

  1. Turn left only after the red light goes out
  2. Proceed in the direction of the arrow after giving way Correct answer.
  3. Proceed straight ahead as well as left
  4. Wait until the main light turns green

Explanation

A green arrow in a supplementary section permits movement only in the direction shown. The driver may proceed left while the main light is red, but must still give way to traffic and pedestrians that have priority.

Question 35Traffic regulations and road signs

A vehicle with flashing blue lights and a siren approaches from behind on a road with a solid centre line. What should the driver do?

  1. Maintain speed and lane position so the emergency vehicle can pass on the left
  2. Speed up to stay ahead of the emergency vehicle
  3. Pull over as far as possible to the right, stopping if necessary, and let it pass Correct answer.
  4. Stop immediately in the middle of the lane

Explanation

Drivers must clear the way for emergency vehicles using blue lights and sirens. The correct response is to move as far to the right as is safe, stopping if needed, and to allow the vehicle to pass without creating a new hazard.

Question 36Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the general rule on the use of a mobile phone by a driver while the vehicle is moving?

  1. It may be used only at low speed in a built-up area
  2. It may be used if the call is shorter than one minute
  3. It may be used with a hands-free device that does not require holding it Correct answer.
  4. It may be used if the driver holds it below the window line

Explanation

A driver must not hold or operate a mobile phone while driving. Use is permitted only through a hands-free device that leaves both hands free and does not distract the driver from the road.

Question 37Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver intends to change lanes on a multi-lane road. Which sequence is correct?

  1. Signal, check the mirrors and blind spot, then move when it is safe Correct answer.
  2. Signal and move at the same time without further checks
  3. Rely on the vehicle in the target lane to slow down
  4. Move first, then signal once the lane change has begun

Explanation

A lane change must be prepared by signalling in good time, checking mirrors and the blind spot, and confirming that the move will not endanger or impede other traffic. Only then should the driver change lanes smoothly.

Question 38Traffic regulations and road signs

When is a driver required to use dipped headlights during daylight hours?

  1. Only when the vehicle is towing a trailer
  2. Only when it is raining heavily
  3. Only when driving through a tunnel
  4. Whenever visibility is reduced, for example by fog, rain or falling snow Correct answer.

Explanation

Dipped headlights must be used whenever visibility is significantly reduced, including fog, heavy rain, snow or other conditions in which the vehicle cannot be seen clearly at a sufficient distance. They are also compulsory in tunnels.

Question 39Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver wishes to park on a road inside a built-up area. Which rule applies?

  1. Parking is allowed only where it is not expressly prohibited by signs or markings Correct answer.
  2. Parking is allowed wherever the vehicle fits without blocking a driveway
  3. Parking is allowed wherever the road is wide enough for two vehicles to pass
  4. Parking is allowed on the pavement if two wheels remain on the road

Explanation

Parking is permitted only where it is not prohibited by signs, road markings or general rules, and it must not endanger or obstruct other traffic. Drivers must also observe restrictions such as bus stops, crossings and junctions.

Question 40Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the meaning of a sign showing a red circle with the number 40 inside?

  1. A minimum speed of 40 km/h is required
  2. The maximum permitted speed is 40 km/h Correct answer.
  3. A speed of 40 km/h is recommended
  4. The distance to the next town is 40 km

Explanation

A red-bordered circle is a prohibition sign, and a number inside sets the maximum speed permitted from that point onward. The limit remains in force until a sign cancels it or a different limit is posted.

Question 41Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver is travelling at 90 km/h outside a built-up area on a road with a single lane in each direction. What is the general speed limit for a passenger car where no other limit is posted?

  1. 80 km/h Correct answer.
  2. 60 km/h
  3. 130 km/h
  4. 100 km/h

Explanation

Outside built-up areas the general limit for passenger cars on ordinary roads is 80 km/h unless signs set a different limit. Higher limits apply only on roads expressly designated for them, such as motorways.

Question 42Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver reaches a junction where a yield sign requires giving way. Traffic on the priority road is approaching. What is the correct action?

  1. Sound the horn and continue at the same speed
  2. Stop completely at the line in every case
  3. Slow down or stop as needed and enter only when there is a safe gap Correct answer.
  4. Enter the junction quickly to force the other driver to brake

Explanation

A yield sign requires the driver to let priority traffic pass. The driver should reduce speed, be ready to stop, and enter only when a safe gap exists; a complete stop is required only when necessary to give way.

Question 43Traffic regulations and road signs

Two vehicles approach each other on a narrow mountain road where passing is difficult. Which vehicle should reverse if reversing is necessary?

  1. The vehicle travelling uphill
  2. The vehicle travelling downhill Correct answer.
  3. The larger of the two vehicles
  4. The vehicle that arrived at the narrow section first

Explanation

On narrow roads where passing is impossible, the vehicle going downhill should reverse, because it is generally easier and safer to reverse downhill than to reverse uphill. If either vehicle can pull aside, it should do so instead.

Question 44Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver is involved in a collision in which another person is injured. What is the driver's first duty?

  1. Move the vehicle away before anyone arrives
  2. Exchange insurance details and leave
  3. Photograph the damage before helping
  4. Stop, secure the scene and provide or summon first aid Correct answer.

Explanation

The immediate duty is to stop, secure the scene against further danger and provide first aid or call emergency services for the injured person. Details and documentation come after the injured have been helped.

Question 45Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a broken white line along the edge of the carriageway generally mark?

  1. The boundary of a parking zone
  2. A line that may never be crossed
  3. A lane reserved for buses only
  4. The edge of the roadway, which may be crossed when necessary Correct answer.

Explanation

A broken white edge line marks the outer limit of the carriageway. Because it is broken, it may be crossed when necessary, for example to enter a lay-by or to pass an obstacle, provided this is safe.

Question 46Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver intends to overtake a tram that has stopped at a stop without a safety island. What must the driver do?

  1. Wait until the tram moves off before proceeding
  2. Stop and wait until passengers have boarded or alighted safely Correct answer.
  3. Sound the horn to warn passengers
  4. Pass the tram at speed to clear the area quickly

Explanation

When a tram stops without a safety island, passengers must cross the roadway to reach the pavement. The driver must therefore stop and wait until they have safely boarded or left before continuing.

Question 47Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a sign showing a white arrow curving to the right on a blue circle require?

  1. A prohibition on turning right
  2. A compulsory turn or direction of travel to the right Correct answer.
  3. A warning of a sharp bend to the right
  4. A recommendation to use the right lane

Explanation

A blue circular sign with a white arrow imposes a mandatory direction. The driver must follow the arrow, so turning or proceeding to the right is compulsory rather than merely advised.

Question 48Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver is waiting behind a bus that has signalled its intention to leave a bus stop in a built-up area. What should the driver do?

  1. Overtake the bus immediately on the left
  2. Reverse to create more space
  3. Allow the bus to move out when it is safe to do so Correct answer.
  4. Sound the horn and hold position

Explanation

In built-up areas drivers should allow a bus that is signalling to leave its stop to rejoin the traffic flow. This keeps public transport moving and reduces the risk of a collision with the bus.

Question 49Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver approaches a level crossing with barriers that are raised but with a red light flashing. What must the driver do?

  1. Proceed slowly while watching the track
  2. Sound the horn and cross quickly
  3. Stop and wait until the red light stops flashing Correct answer.
  4. Proceed because the barriers are up

Explanation

A flashing red light at a level crossing means a train is approaching and the driver must stop, even if the barriers have not yet begun to lower. The light is the governing signal and must be obeyed.

Question 50Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the correct behaviour when an ordinary ambulance without flashing lights or siren is driving behind in normal traffic?

  1. Always stop immediately wherever you are
  2. Treat it exactly like any other vehicle and follow normal traffic rules Correct answer.
  3. Drive onto the pavement to let it pass
  4. Accelerate to increase the gap behind it

Explanation

Special priority applies only when an emergency vehicle uses its blue lights and siren. Without those signals it is an ordinary vehicle, so normal traffic rules apply and no special yielding is required.
