When driving in a roundabout and encountering an emergency vehicle displaying sirens, air horn, or red/blue flashing lights, it is crucial to prioritize the emergency vehicle's passage. The correct approach is to continue to your intended exit within the roundabout and then pull over to the right to clear the way for the emergency vehicle. This ensures that you maintain safety by following through with your intended path in the roundabout and then promptly giving the right of way to the approaching emergency vehicle. This enables the emergency vehicle to pass through efficiently and respond to the emergency situation effectively.
