In the province of Ontario, Canada and other places, you must do an emergency stop for the purposes of passing your driver's test. This simulates an emergency vehicle approaching. And you MUST stop for an emergency vehicle on an on-road driver'stest and all other times. If you fail to stop for an emergency vehicle on a driver's test, it is an automatic fail.
Watch these step-by-step instructions on how to get off and back on the road safely during an emergency stop.
Good luck on your road test.

Can you answer a question please If I am turning right Signal is green for me and the upcoming traffic There is s car who wants to turn left standing near the edge ( not middle of the road) in the upcoming traffic Who’s right is first??? I during my road test, looked at that car, it was not moving, I turned right at a regular speed whereas that car rushed to turn left and we were about to bang Was that my fault?? Because the instructor said IT WAS HIS RIGHT

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Tanzeela Aneel - Thank you for your comment and query. I can't comment specifically because I wasn't there. However, one thing you have to remember: the right-of-way is never taken, it is always given. In other words, if the other driver is insisting on going, you're going to have to give the right-of-way or risk a crash. If you were on a road test and charged forward, even though you had the right of way, you risk a crash. And the purpose of a road test is to demonstrate to the examiner that you have due care and control of the vehicle in changing traffic situations. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

However, this is a manoeuvre that you could potentially be asked on a road test, and I myself have had to do this manoeuvre.

[@skull.kid.416]

Hey Rick 👋 Hope all is well. I have my G test, coming up this spring and I was wondering if I have to turn my wheels to the right when you pull over for the emergency stop?

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Jesus Alberto - nope, just pull over, apply the parking brake and the 4-way flashers. When the emergency vehicle passes, proceed after doing your visual checks and communicate. Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@I-am-KL]

Do we need to apply the 4 way flashes? As I observe that drivers don’t do that when they meet emergency vehicles. They simply just stop at the side of the road and let the emergency vehicles pass by.

[@smartdrivetest]

Yes my friend. The flasher tell other traffic that you are doing something unpredictable. I know that other drivers don't do it...but then again, a lot of other drivers don't do a lot of skills and techniques that compromise their safety. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@michellescott4658]

I’m also confused because other videos they tel u to turn ur wheels also u never mentioned that so how do I know who’s right

[@Godislove4517]

What should I do if I can't tell which direction the emergency vehicle is coming from? Particularly at an intersection where there are nearby off ramps and on ramps.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi God is Love - Thank you for your comment and query. If you're near an intersection, simply stop - that is your best course of action. Other drivers will move around you if you make a mistake.

Hi there! Quick question, i have my G road test coming up and I was watching a video of the route and the individual that filmed mentioned where they will ask the driver to do an emergency stop and it was right near a "no parking" sign... is it okay to do so? Or would I have to drive up away from the sign.

You’re not leaving the car, so it’s okay my friend. Good luck on your test. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@Kittles927]

I also wonder: what do you do if an emergency vehicle comes by, but you are stopped in an intersection waiting to turn left? Do you stay put or turn to clear the intersection? Thanks Rick :) PS Your videos helped me pass my Class 5 a few months ago :)

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Kittles - Thank you for your comment. And congratulations on passing your road test - we're happy to hear we could help. A lot of times at intersections, the traffic will simply stop. The emergency vehicle will go out into the opposite lane to move through the intersection. It is best--in most cases--to simply stop and allow the emergency vehicle to weave through the intersection. There will be the odd time that you want to turn to clear the way, but not often. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@BenWinder108]

Great question!

[@victoriaezekwemba5802]

I get how to do this on a road rest, but how do you do this on busy road when there is nowhere to pull over because the lanes are blocked ?

[@mjclaudianava5397]

What should we do if a private vehicle/ bus/ a construction vehicle is parked on the side of the road with the emergency lights on? You still have room to pass by with safe distance. Should I change lane or can I maintain the safe distance and drive by slowly? What's the right approach

[@BlueToronto]

I have a question. Assuming there is enough of a gap in traffic to turn left, are we allowed to turn left at an intersection on a green if pedestrians have just barely entered the intersection moving from left to right? I had an instructor criticize me for doing that a few years ago yet when I'm crossing the street it is not unusual for cars to turn left and pass right in front of me.

[@ichigomgx]

for the test, the car is supposed to wait for the pedestrian to fully cross the street before turning left. Toronto drivers are very rude tho so they don't really care about pedestrians. I almost got hit many times.

What if there's a situation where you go through a two lane street and there's vehicles approaching from the left side going to the opposite direction and no space to pull over to the right BC of the curb retaining you to do so? Do you stop and wait for the emergency vehicle to maneuver around you ? Or proceed through slowly until a space is vacant? . BC I saw a car go straight through without slowing or stopping when the ambulance was behind him it confused me of the situation.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi bonjimss De guzman - Thank you for your query. Yes, if you can't pull over to either one of the shoulders, some times your best course of action is to simply stop and allow the emergency vehicle to manoeuvre around you...as you said.

[@MrRobikshrestha]

This is an unrelated question about stop signs: At 2:33, you stopped at the intersection of the roads and not before the stop sign. I am confused about the actual rule. If there is no stop line, should we stop before the stop sign or when the two roads meet? Second question: if there is a stop sign before a sidewalk and there is no stop line, should we stop before the stop sign or after the sidewalk (for USA)? My instructor told me to after the stop sign, after going just past the sidewalk, but not sure it is correct. HIs reasoning was we wouldn't be able to see vehicles anyways if we were to stop at the stop sign.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Robik Shrestha - Thank you for your comment. And the position of the sign has nothing to do with where you stop my friend.

Just normal brake - as hard as you can or as hard as is needed. The parking/emergency brake will not stop you any faster and fiddling with trying to step on 2 pedals at the same time could distract you from putting enough force on the main brake.
