What is the answer to this driving question?

A vehicle using emergency signals is approaching from the opposite direction on a two lane street or highway. You should:

1: Slow down move as far to the right as possible and stop

2: Disregard the emergency vehicle as it is going to the other way.

1 always slow down and pull to the shoulder so that any emergency vehicle can proceed to wherever they need to be

The others who said number 1 are correct. However, I'd like to add one more point. When you pull over and stop, never block a driveway, street, entrance to a parking lot, or any other opening leading off of the roadway. The emergency vehicle may be planning on turning there.

There is no state in the US where number two is an option.

Otherwise, different states have different regulations about what action a driver SHOULD take.

Number 1. I dont think you really have to do it if the highway is divided by a 4 foot tall concrete barrier though.

1. Always give them as much room as they need, they may have to overtake someone and move on to your side of the road.

The smart thing is to pull over as far as practical and stop. However , unless both flashing / rotating lights and siren are in use , it is not legally in emergency mode. Cops have been known to forget to turn off their lights after making a traffic stop, etc. and they look at you funny when you pull over also.
