Common Mistakes and Tips
The corridor of life (korytarz zycia) rule requires drivers on multi-lane roads to create a passage for emergency vehicles as soon as traffic slows or stops. On a two-lane road in one direction: left lane moves left, right lane moves right. On a three-lane road: the two left lanes move left, the right lane moves right. The corridor is always created between the leftmost lane and the one next to it. Many candidates confuse which lanes move in which direction. When an emergency vehicle approaches with active sirens and lights, you must pull to the right and stop if necessary. You may not follow an emergency vehicle closer than 150 meters while it operates with signals active. At accident scenes, slow down, do not rubberneck, and follow police directions. Never drive through an accident scene if directed around it, even if the road appears clear. Using the emergency lane (hard shoulder) on motorways is strictly prohibited except in genuine emergencies.
