When I see an emergency vehicle approaching with lights and sirens while I am driving, what should I do?
State law, and common sense, dictates that vehicles yield to emergency vehicles that are operating their emergency lights and siren. Emergency vehicle drivers are taught to pass on the left whenever possible when responding in an emergency mode. When safe, slow down, pull over to the right, and stop. However, there are circumstances where that may not be possible (if you car is already stopped, and you don't have anywhere to pull over). Simply stay put until the emergency vehicle goes around you. Do not tailgate, "draft", or follow a responding apparatus closely. Not only is this illegal, you run the risk of collision as vehicles pull back out into traffic after the emergency vehicle goes by. from https://www.cityofflowood.com/flowood-fire-deparment-faq ==================== maybe could say - pull to right and stop - if already stopped, stay put - if nowhere to pull over to right, then slow down and put on right directional and slow down however - what about the person who is just pulling into a left hand turn lane and has not stopped yet? - do we want them to pull to the right? dont think so maybe there should be a video with common examples -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
