Requires the bureau of motor vehicles to include a question regarding the requirements for yielding the right-of-way for: (1) an authorized emergency vehicle; (2) a stationary recovery vehicle; or (3) a disabled stationary vehicle with active flashing signals; in the knowledge test for a learner's permit or a driver's license.

AI Summary
This bill modifies Indiana's driver's license and learner's permit examination requirements by mandating the inclusion of a specific question about right-of-way rules for emergency vehicles, stationary recovery vehicles, and disabled vehicles with active flashing signals. Specifically, the bill amends existing law to require that the knowledge test portion of the driver's license examination now include a question about the legal requirements for yielding right-of-way in these scenarios, with a critical stipulation that any applicant who answers this particular question incorrectly will automatically fail the entire knowledge test portion of the examination. The change is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to ensure that new drivers have a clear understanding of critical traffic safety rules related to emergency and disabled vehicles on the roadway. By making this question a direct pass/fail component of the test, the bill emphasizes the importance of understanding these specific right-of-way protocols and seeks to improve overall driver awareness and road safety.
