Which exemption is provided in §46.2-1078?

• A. The driver of any emergency vehicle as defined in §46.2-920 is exempt from these provisions
• B. Emergency vehicles may use headlights in day
• C. Emergency vehicles may ignore all traffic signals
• D. No exemptions exist

Answer: (A)

When an officer or responder is driving an emergency vehicle, Virginia law provides exemptions from certain traffic rules. §46.2-1078 makes clear that the driver of any emergency vehicle as defined in §46.2-920 is exempt from these provisions while performing emergency duties. This means these drivers aren’t bound by the normal restrictions in the section when they’re responding to calls, to help them reach the scene more quickly and safely. The correct option reflects that explicit exemption for emergency-vehicle operators.

These exemptions aren’t a blanket license to ignore all signals or laws, and the other statements aren’t accurate: emergency vehicles can’t just disregard all traffic controls, and exemptions are indeed provided by the statute.
