Priority vehicles is one of the topics in the Priority block of the Spanish DGT theory. Who goes first: right-of-way rules at junctions, roundabouts, narrow sections and special cases. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.
In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that drivers of emergency vehicles must exercise caution and apply their special privileges responsibly, using them only during urgent service calls. They must not violate right-of-way rules at intersections or traffic signals without first taking extreme precautions to ensure there is no risk to pedestrians and that other vehicles have stopped or are making way.
Priority questions use concrete situations (junctions, roundabouts, narrow sections): first work out who has right of way and why.
