Question 1Traffic rules and road signs

What does a circular sign with a red border and a white background generally indicate in Belarus?

  1. A parking zone
  2. A recommended speed
  3. A prohibition or restriction Correct answer.
  4. A warning of danger ahead

Explanation

Circular signs with a red border belong to the prohibitory group. They impose a restriction or ban on a specific manoeuvre or on the movement of certain road users. Warning signs, by contrast, are triangular with a red border.

Question 2Traffic rules and road signs

A triangular sign with a red border showing a black exclamation mark warns the driver about what?

  1. A pedestrian crossing ahead
  2. A railway crossing with barriers
  3. A steep descent on the road
  4. A section of road with hazards not covered by other warning signs Correct answer.

Explanation

The general danger warning sign is used where a hazard exists that is not indicated by any other specific warning sign. The driver should slow down and be prepared for an unexpected situation. Specific hazards such as pedestrian crossings or steep descents have their own dedicated signs.

Question 3Traffic rules and road signs

What is the general speed limit for passenger cars on motorways in Belarus when no other limit is posted?

  1. 130 km/h
  2. 90 km/h
  3. 100 km/h
  4. 110 km/h Correct answer.

Explanation

On motorways outside built-up areas the general limit for passenger cars is 110 km/h. Higher limits may be posted on certain modernised sections, but the default figure is 110 km/h. Built-up areas have a much lower default limit.

Question 4Traffic rules and road signs

Unless a sign states otherwise, what is the maximum speed for passenger cars in a built-up area in Belarus?

  1. 70 km/h
  2. 60 km/h Correct answer.
  3. 50 km/h
  4. 40 km/h

Explanation

The default speed limit in built-up areas is 60 km/h for all vehicles unless a sign sets a different figure. Drivers must also adapt their speed to traffic and road conditions. A lower limit may be posted near schools or hazardous sections.

Question 5Traffic rules and road signs

A driver approaches a sign showing a red circle containing the number 70 on a white background. What does it mean?

  1. A maximum speed of 70 km/h Correct answer.
  2. The end of a 70 km/h zone
  3. A minimum speed of 70 km/h
  4. A recommended speed of 70 km/h

Explanation

A red-bordered circle containing a number sets the maximum permitted speed from the point where the sign is installed. The restriction remains in force until it is cancelled by an end-of-limit sign, a new limit, or an intersection. It is not advice but a binding prohibition.

Question 6Traffic rules and road signs

What is the meaning of a blue square sign showing a white letter P?

  1. Parking is permitted Correct answer.
  2. No parking is allowed
  3. A pedestrian zone begins
  4. A bus stop is located here

Explanation

The blue square with a white P indicates a place where parking is permitted. Additional plates may specify how the parking area is to be used, for example a parking bay layout or time restrictions. A prohibition on parking is shown instead by a red-bordered circle with a blue background and a red diagonal line.

Question 7Traffic rules and road signs

A driver sees a red-bordered circular sign with a blue background and a single red diagonal line. What does it prohibit?

  1. Driving faster than 60 km/h
  2. Stopping for any reason
  3. Parking Correct answer.
  4. Overtaking

Explanation

A single red diagonal line across a blue circle means parking is prohibited. Stopping to pick up or set down passengers is still allowed unless a second diagonal line is added. Two crossing diagonal lines prohibit stopping altogether.

Question 8Traffic rules and road signs

What does a circular sign with a red border showing two cars, one red and one black, side by side mean?

  1. A narrow road section ahead
  2. Overtaking is prohibited Correct answer.
  3. Two-way traffic begins
  4. Driving abreast is permitted

Explanation

The sign with a red car and a black car side by side prohibits overtaking of all vehicles except slow-moving ones such as horse-drawn carts and bicycles. The ban applies from the sign until it is cancelled. It is a prohibitory sign, not a warning.

Question 9Traffic rules and road signs

Which sign indicates a pedestrian crossing ahead and requires the driver to be ready to stop?

  1. A circular sign with a red border showing a pedestrian
  2. A blue square with a white pedestrian symbol
  3. A rectangular sign with an arrow pointing down
  4. A triangular sign with a red border showing a person on a zebra crossing Correct answer.

Explanation

The triangular warning sign with a red border and a pedestrian on a zebra crossing announces an approaching crossing. The driver must reduce speed and give way to pedestrians on or entering the crossing. The blue square version marks the crossing itself rather than warning of it.

Question 10Traffic rules and road signs

A traffic controller raises his arm vertically. What must drivers do?

  1. Stop in all directions unless stopping is impossible Correct answer.
  2. Proceed only straight ahead
  3. Sound the horn and proceed
  4. Continue moving in all directions

Explanation

A raised arm is the signal for all road users to stop. Drivers must halt in front of the stop line or the controlled area unless stopping would create a hazard. Movement resumes only when the controller gives the next signal.

Question 11Traffic rules and road signs

How is a traffic light with a flashing yellow signal to be interpreted?

  1. Traffic must stop until it turns green
  2. Drivers may proceed without any caution
  3. The signal is out of order and normal priority rules apply Correct answer.
  4. The crossing is reserved for pedestrians

Explanation

A flashing yellow light means the junction is uncontrolled by lights at that moment. Drivers must follow the ordinary priority rules for unregulated intersections and proceed with caution. It does not mean the lights are broken in a way that blocks movement.

Question 12Traffic rules and road signs

At an unregulated intersection of equal roads, a driver must give way to which vehicle?

  1. The vehicle approaching from the left
  2. The vehicle that sounds its horn first
  3. The vehicle approaching from the right Correct answer.
  4. The vehicle travelling straight ahead only

Explanation

Where roads are of equal importance and there are no signs or signals, the general rule is to give way to traffic approaching from the right. This is the interference-from-the-right principle. Drivers must still slow down and be ready to stop if the situation is unclear.

Question 13Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is turning left at an intersection while an oncoming vehicle is going straight ahead. Who has priority?

  1. The turning driver
  2. Whichever vehicle enters first
  3. The oncoming driver going straight Correct answer.
  4. The vehicle with the larger engine

Explanation

When turning left across the path of oncoming traffic, the turning driver must give way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction and continuing straight or turning right. This rule applies at regulated and unregulated intersections alike. Failing to yield here is a common cause of collisions.

Question 14Traffic rules and road signs

A vehicle is approaching a roundabout marked with a give-way sign at the entry. Who has priority?

  1. The vehicle approaching from the right on the entry road
  2. Traffic entering the roundabout
  3. The largest vehicle present
  4. Traffic already circulating on the roundabout Correct answer.

Explanation

Where a give-way sign is installed at a roundabout entry, vehicles already on the roundabout have priority. Entering drivers must slow down and yield to circulating traffic. This layout is the standard arrangement for signposted roundabouts.

Question 15Traffic rules and road signs

What is the purpose of a lane marked with a white letter A on a blue square sign?

  1. A lane for emergency vehicles only
  2. An additional lane for overtaking
  3. A lane reserved for buses Correct answer.
  4. A lane reserved for agricultural vehicles

Explanation

A blue square sign showing a white bus symbol and the letter A designates a lane reserved for route vehicles such as buses and trolleybuses. Other drivers must not use that lane. The restriction may apply only during certain hours if an additional plate says so.

Question 16Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is approaching a railway crossing without barriers and sees a flashing red light. What is required?

  1. Cross only if no train is visible
  2. Sound the horn and cross quickly
  3. Stop before the crossing and wait until the light stops flashing Correct answer.
  4. Slow down and cross carefully

Explanation

A flashing red light at a level crossing requires drivers to stop before the stop line or the crossing itself. Movement is permitted only when the light stops flashing and the crossing is clear. Crossing while the light flashes is dangerous and unlawful.

Question 17Traffic rules and road signs

What must a driver do before reversing a vehicle in a yard where visibility is limited?

  1. Sound the horn and reverse without checking
  2. Reverse quickly to reduce exposure time
  3. Ask for assistance or check the area behind before moving Correct answer.
  4. Rely on the rear-view mirrors only

Explanation

Before reversing, the driver must make sure the path behind is clear and that no pedestrians or obstacles are present. If visibility is restricted, a helper should guide the manoeuvre. Reversing is permitted only when it is safe and does not endanger others.

Question 18Traffic rules and road signs

When is a driver permitted to use the horn in a built-up area?

  1. To warn of a danger of a collision Correct answer.
  2. To hurry a slow vehicle ahead
  3. To greet an acquaintance
  4. At any time, since it is not restricted

Explanation

The horn may be used in built-up areas only to warn other road users of an imminent danger, such as a collision risk. Using it for other purposes creates noise and is prohibited. Outside built-up areas the rules are more permissive but still require restraint.

Question 19Traffic rules and road signs

A driver intends to change lanes on a multi-lane road. What is the correct procedure?

  1. Rely on the vehicle behind to slow down
  2. Move first and signal afterwards
  3. Change lanes without signalling if the road is empty
  4. Signal, check mirrors and blind spot, then move when it is safe Correct answer.

Explanation

Before changing lanes the driver must signal the intention, check the mirrors and the blind spot, and ensure the new lane is free. The manoeuvre must not force other drivers to change speed or direction. Signalling does not in itself give priority.

Question 20Traffic rules and road signs

What is the maximum permitted blood alcohol concentration for a driver in Belarus?

  1. 0.3 promille Correct answer.
  2. 0.8 promille
  3. 0.5 promille
  4. 0.0 promille

Explanation

Belarus sets the permitted alcohol level at 0.3 promille in the blood, which corresponds to a very small amount. This threshold is far below the levels used in many other countries. Exceeding it carries serious administrative and criminal consequences.

Question 21Traffic rules and road signs

A driver sees a sign with a white arrow pointing diagonally down to the right on a blue background. What does it indicate?

  1. Parking is available to the right
  2. The driver must turn right at the next junction
  3. The lane ends and traffic should move to the right lane Correct answer.
  4. A right-hand bend is ahead

Explanation

A diagonal downward arrow on a blue background warns that the current lane is ending and that traffic should merge into the adjacent lane in the direction shown. Drivers should change lanes in good time. It is not a mandatory turn instruction.

Question 22Traffic rules and road signs

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

  1. A main road, giving priority at intersections Correct answer.
  2. A toll road begins
  3. A pedestrian zone
  4. A road under repair

Explanation

The yellow diamond marks a main road, meaning that traffic on it has priority over vehicles joining from side roads. The sign remains valid until it is cancelled by a crossed-out version. Drivers on side roads must give way accordingly.

Question 23Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is overtaking a cyclist outside a built-up area. What minimum lateral clearance should be maintained?

  1. 1 metre
  2. 2.5 metres
  3. 0.5 metre
  4. 1.5 metres Correct answer.

Explanation

When overtaking a cyclist outside built-up areas, the driver should leave a lateral clearance of at least 1.5 metres. This protects the cyclist from being forced off the road by turbulence or by an error of judgement. Inside built-up areas the required clearance is smaller.

Question 24Traffic rules and road signs

Under what circumstances may a driver use the shoulder of the road for driving?

  1. To stop for a short rest at any point
  2. Whenever the main lane is congested
  3. To pass a queue of slow vehicles
  4. Only where permitted by signs or when the shoulder serves as an additional lane Correct answer.

Explanation

Driving on the shoulder is generally prohibited because it is intended for pedestrians, cyclists and stopping in emergencies. It may be used only where signs expressly allow it or where a sign marks the shoulder as an additional lane. Otherwise the driver must stay within the carriageway.

Question 25Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is involved in a collision in which only vehicles are damaged and no one is injured. What is the driver obliged to do?

  1. Stop, exchange details and report the accident as required Correct answer.
  2. Drive away and settle the matter privately later
  3. Continue driving to the nearest police station without stopping
  4. Leave the scene if the damage is minor

Explanation

Even in a damage-only collision the driver must stop, exchange the required details with the other party and report the accident in accordance with the rules. Leaving the scene can lead to administrative liability. The obligation to stop applies regardless of the amount of damage.

Question 26Traffic rules and road signs

What does a triangular warning sign with a red border and a black symbol of a curving road indicate?

  1. The end of the built-up area
  2. A series of dangerous bends beginning shortly ahead Correct answer.
  3. A parking area reserved for visitors
  4. A permanent prohibition on overtaking

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border are warning signs; they alert the driver to a hazard ahead rather than imposing an obligation. A black symbol of a winding road means dangerous bends are approaching, so speed should be reduced in advance. Warning signs are normally placed at a set distance before the hazard so the driver has time to react.

Question 27Traffic rules and road signs

A circular blue sign shows a white arrow bending to the right. How must the driver proceed?

  1. Stop and wait for a traffic controller
  2. Turn right only, following the direction of the arrow Correct answer.
  3. Continue straight ahead and ignore the arrow
  4. Turn right after giving way to traffic behind

Explanation

A blue circle with a white arrow is a mandatory direction sign, so the driver is obliged to move in the direction shown. It is not a warning or a permission but a command that must be obeyed. The driver should signal and position the vehicle accordingly before reaching the sign.

Question 28Traffic rules and road signs

What is indicated by a road marking of a solid white line running along the centre of the carriageway?

  1. Crossing or straddling the line is prohibited Correct answer.
  2. The line marks the edge of a pedestrian area
  3. Overtaking is permitted if the road is clear
  4. Parking along the line is allowed at night

Explanation

A continuous longitudinal line separates traffic flows that must not be crossed. Drivers may not straddle it or drive over it, which effectively bans overtaking that requires entering the opposing lane. A broken line, by contrast, may be crossed when it is safe.

Question 29Traffic rules and road signs

A driver approaches an intersection where the traffic light shows a green signal and a traffic controller stands with his back to the driver. What should the driver do?

  1. Proceed, because the green light always overrides the controller
  2. Sound the horn and continue slowly
  3. Obey the controller and stop, because his back means traffic in that direction is halted Correct answer.
  4. Reverse to clear the intersection

Explanation

When a traffic controller is present, his signals take priority over traffic lights and signs. A controller with his back or chest turned to a direction means movement in that direction is prohibited. The driver must therefore stop even though the light is green.

Question 30Traffic rules and road signs

What does a round white sign with a red border showing the number 50 mean?

  1. The distance to the next town is 50 km
  2. The minimum speed is 50 km/h
  3. The maximum speed is limited to 50 km/h Correct answer.
  4. Vehicles over 50 tonnes are prohibited

Explanation

A red-bordered circle is a prohibition sign, and a number inside it sets the maximum permitted speed in kilometres per hour. The limit applies from the sign until it is cancelled by another sign or a junction. A blue circle with a number would instead indicate a minimum speed.

Question 31Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is entering a road from a petrol station forecourt. Who has priority over whom?

  1. The driver leaving the forecourt has priority because he is accelerating
  2. Traffic already on the road has priority over the driver leaving the forecourt Correct answer.
  3. The larger vehicle always has priority
  4. Both must stop and negotiate by hand signals

Explanation

A driver leaving a private area such as a forecourt, yard or car park must give way to all traffic on the road he is joining. The obligation rests on the driver crossing the pavement or verge, not on the road users already there. The manoeuvre must be made only when it does not force others to change speed or course.

Question 32Traffic rules and road signs

On a road with three lanes in the same direction outside a built-up area, which lane should a driver normally use for steady travel?

  1. Any lane, chosen at random
  2. The middle lane at all times
  3. The right-hand lane, using the others only for overtaking Correct answer.
  4. The left-hand lane, keeping the middle and right lanes free

Explanation

Traffic keeps to the right, so the right-hand lane is the normal lane for travelling. The left and middle lanes are used for overtaking and then left again when the manoeuvre is complete. Staying in a left lane without overtaking obstructs faster traffic and is an offence.

Question 33Traffic rules and road signs

What does a sign showing a white bicycle on a blue background with a red diagonal line mean?

  1. A cycle repair point ahead
  2. A bicycle parking area
  3. The end of the cycle path or cycle lane Correct answer.
  4. Cyclists must dismount here

Explanation

A blue sign with a symbol indicates a facility, and a red diagonal stroke cancels it. The combination therefore marks the end of the designated cycle path or lane. Beyond the sign cyclists share the ordinary carriageway under general rules.

Question 34Traffic rules and road signs

A driver wishes to turn left into a side road and sees a pedestrian stepping onto a zebra crossing on that side road. What must the driver do?

  1. Turn quickly ahead of the pedestrian
  2. Give way and let the pedestrian cross before turning Correct answer.
  3. Sound the horn to warn the pedestrian
  4. Stop only if the pedestrian is already halfway across

Explanation

At a marked pedestrian crossing the driver must give way to pedestrians who are on it or stepping onto it. A turning vehicle must complete the turn only when the crossing is clear. The pedestrian's presence on the crossing creates an obligation to stop.

Question 35Traffic rules and road signs

What does a yellow circular sign with a black border and a black diagonal band across it indicate?

  1. A recommended detour route
  2. A customs checkpoint
  3. A temporary warning sign used during roadworks Correct answer.
  4. A permanent parking prohibition

Explanation

Yellow backgrounds with black symbols are used for temporary signs placed where roadworks or other short-term hazards exist. The diagonal band marks a temporary warning of a hazard or restriction. Because conditions change, temporary signs take precedence over the permanent ones they replace.

Question 36Traffic rules and road signs

A driver wants to park on a road with a tram line running along the left side. Which rule applies to stopping?

  1. Trams must always stop for parked vehicles
  2. Parking is allowed on the tram tracks if the hazard lights are on
  3. Stopping is prohibited where it would obstruct trams or force them to deviate Correct answer.
  4. Parking is allowed anywhere within five metres of the track

Explanation

Stopping and parking are forbidden wherever they would interfere with tram movement or block the track area. Trams cannot steer around obstacles, so a parked vehicle on or near the rails disrupts the whole line. The driver must choose a place that leaves the track clear.

Question 37Traffic rules and road signs

What is the meaning of a sign showing a white arrow pointing straight up on a blue background above a lane?

  1. Traffic in that lane must proceed straight ahead Correct answer.
  2. Traffic in that lane must turn back
  3. The lane is reserved for buses only
  4. The lane will end in 100 metres

Explanation

Lane-direction signs mounted above or beside a lane prescribe the permitted direction of travel for that lane. An upward arrow means vehicles in the lane continue straight. Drivers who need to turn must select the appropriate lane in advance.

Question 38Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is driving in fog with visibility of about 50 metres on a road outside a built-up area. How should the vehicle be driven?

  1. Maintain the posted limit because the road is familiar
  2. Use high beam continuously to see further
  3. Follow the tail lights of the vehicle ahead closely
  4. Reduce speed so that the vehicle can stop within the visible distance, and use low beam or fog lights Correct answer.

Explanation

In poor visibility the driver must be able to stop within the distance he can see to be clear. Low beam or fog lamps reduce glare reflected back by the fog, whereas high beam worsens it. A safe gap must be kept because the vehicle ahead may stop suddenly.

Question 39Traffic rules and road signs

What does a rectangular sign with a white letter E and a red diagonal line on a blue background mean?

  1. A toll collection point
  2. The end of a road reserved for pedestrians and cyclists Correct answer.
  3. A place where parking is compulsory
  4. An entrance to a motorway

Explanation

A blue rectangular sign with a symbol designates a road or area reserved for the users shown. A red diagonal stroke cancels that designation. The crossing-out therefore marks the point where the reserved status ends.

Question 40Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is towing a trailer on a motorway. Which statement is correct?

  1. Trailers are never allowed on motorways
  2. The trailer removes the need to keep right
  3. Towing is permitted only if the combination complies with the speed and lane rules for trailers Correct answer.
  4. The trailer may carry passengers

Explanation

Trailers may be taken on motorways provided the combination respects the applicable speed limit and lane rules, which are stricter than for solo cars. The driver must also ensure the trailer is properly coupled and lit. Carrying people in a trailer is prohibited.

Question 41Traffic rules and road signs

What is required of a driver whose vehicle breaks down on a motorway?

  1. Move onto the shoulder if possible, switch on hazard lights and place a warning triangle behind the vehicle Correct answer.
  2. Leave the vehicle in the traffic lane and walk for help
  3. Reverse along the shoulder to the previous exit
  4. Continue driving slowly to the next exit regardless of damage

Explanation

A broken-down vehicle must be removed from the running lanes where possible, and its position warned of with hazard lights and a warning triangle. Occupants should wait in a safe place away from the carriageway. Reversing on a motorway is prohibited.

Question 42Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is approaching a steep downhill section and wants to control speed. What is the correct technique?

  1. Switch off the engine and coast
  2. Use the handbrake continuously
  3. Engage a lower gear and use engine braking, applying the brakes in short applications Correct answer.
  4. Hold the clutch down throughout the descent

Explanation

On a long descent, a low gear lets engine braking hold the speed and prevents the service brakes from overheating. Brakes should be applied briefly rather than held on continuously. Coasting removes engine braking and is dangerous.

Question 43Traffic rules and road signs

What does a sign showing a white arrow curving from the right side of the road to the left, on a blue background, indicate?

  1. A recommended route around an obstacle such as a traffic island Correct answer.
  2. A one-way street ending
  3. A pedestrian zone entry
  4. A compulsory U-turn

Explanation

Blue direction signs with a curved arrow can indicate the side on which an obstacle such as a traffic island must be passed. The arrow directs traffic to keep to the indicated side. It is not a ban but guidance on the correct path.

Question 44Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is following a slow-moving agricultural tractor on a two-lane road with a continuous centre line. May the driver overtake?

  1. No, overtaking across a continuous line is prohibited even if the tractor is slow Correct answer.
  2. Yes, provided the tractor signals to the right
  3. Yes, because agricultural vehicles must give way
  4. Yes, if the driver flashes the headlights first

Explanation

A continuous centre line forbids crossing into the opposing lane, and the speed of the vehicle ahead does not create an exception. The driver must wait until the line becomes broken or a safe overtaking opportunity arises. Patience is required even when progress is slow.

Question 45Traffic rules and road signs

When must a driver yield to a vehicle approaching from the right at an intersection of unequal roads?

  1. Only when the driver's road carries a give-way or stop sign Correct answer.
  2. Always, because the right-hand rule overrides all signs
  3. Never, because priority signs decide everything
  4. Only when both vehicles are turning left

Explanation

On roads of different importance, priority signs determine who gives way; the general right-hand rule applies only where priorities are not otherwise set. A driver on the minor road facing a give-way or stop sign must yield to traffic on the main road, including vehicles from the right. The sign settles the matter.

Question 46Traffic rules and road signs

What is the meaning of a sign showing a black steam train on a white triangle with a red border?

  1. A railway museum is nearby
  2. A level crossing without any track
  3. A tram stop is ahead
  4. A railway crossing with barriers is ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

A warning triangle with a train symbol warns of a railway crossing ahead. The version with a barrier symbol indicates a crossing equipped with barriers or gates. Drivers should slow down and be prepared to stop.

Question 47Traffic rules and road signs

A driver is parked on a slope facing downhill with a kerb on the right. How should the front wheels be positioned?

  1. Turned towards the kerb so the vehicle would roll into it Correct answer.
  2. Turned to the left across the opposite lane
  3. Left perfectly straight
  4. Turned away from the kerb

Explanation

When facing downhill with a kerb, turning the wheels towards the kerb means that if the vehicle rolls it will be stopped by the kerb rather than entering the road. The parking brake must also be applied and a gear engaged. This reduces the risk to other traffic.

Question 48Traffic rules and road signs

A driver sees a sign with a white letter P crossed by a red diagonal line on a blue background. What does it mean?

  1. Parking is free of charge here
  2. Parking is allowed only for lorries
  3. The zone where parking was permitted has ended Correct answer.
  4. A car park entrance is ahead

Explanation

A blue sign with a P grants parking, and a red diagonal stroke cancels that permission. The sign therefore marks the end of the parking zone. Beyond it, general stopping and parking rules apply.

Question 49Traffic rules and road signs

A driver intends to make a U-turn on a road with a continuous centre line and good visibility. What is the rule?

  1. A U-turn is allowed if the hazard lights are used
  2. A U-turn is always allowed if the road is clear
  3. A U-turn is allowed only at traffic lights
  4. A U-turn is prohibited where it would require crossing a continuous line or where it is specifically banned Correct answer.

Explanation

U-turns are forbidden where they would mean crossing a continuous line, on bridges, in tunnels, at pedestrian crossings and wherever a sign prohibits them. Even where permitted, the driver must not obstruct other traffic. Good visibility alone does not create a right to turn.

Question 50Traffic rules and road signs

What is the correct action when an emergency vehicle approaches with a blue flashing beacon and siren while the driver is in a queue at a red light?

  1. Stay in place because the light is red
  2. Give way as far as safely possible, even if it means moving aside carefully Correct answer.
  3. Stop immediately in the middle of the lane
  4. Accelerate through the red light

Explanation

Drivers must clear the way for emergency vehicles on an urgent call, using care to avoid a collision. Where possible the driver should move aside or forward slightly to open a corridor. Blocking the route of an emergency vehicle is an offence.
