Do all drivers properly ensure the free passage of the emergency vehicle?

Description

Art. 9.2 pt 1

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The attached image shows that the truck driver in the left lane has not pulled over as far as possible to the left edge of the roadway, failing to provide a clear passage for the emergency vehicle (fire engine). According to Art. 9 para. 2 pt. 1, all road users are obliged to facilitate the passage of an emergency vehicle by clearing its path, which in congested traffic conditions requires the formation of a so-called rescue corridor.
