Why is it important to exercise caution when yielding the right of way to an emergency vehicle?

• To avoid traffic tickets
• To prevent damage to your vehicle
• To ensure you do not endanger other motorists, bicyclists, or pedestrians
  Explanation:

  "If emergency vehicles use their lights (blue or red) and sirens, safely maneuver your vehicle out of their way. You should slow your vehicle and move over to the shoulder of the road, or if that is not possible, as far to the right of the roadway or lane as you can and stop. You should always use caution to ensure that you do not endanger other motorists, bicyclists, or pedestrians while doing so."
• Caution is not necessary; speed is crucial
