"slow down or move over....

YOU TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH VERY VERY well put. i agree 100% slow down or move over means if u can move over, if not get ready to stop if u have to or take some sort of action to not kill anyone. plus usually if u slow down a lil bit u can get over just b4 u pass the emergency vehicle. now as for the genius that doesn't like pulling over for emergency vehicles, how would u like it if u was dying and it took longer for ambulance to get to you b/c some D/A wouldnt' pull over and let the ambulance by or w/e and the ambulance got ina wreck, wouldn't be good would it? i think it is a respect manuver to move over for an ampulance or police car, or any emergency vehicle, yes they do have "passing" lanes but usually 4-wheelers use them as "travel" not "passing" lanes and it no longer becomes an option for emergency vehicles to use the passing lane, i like the law that, i believe, texas has, left lane for passing only i think ALL states should have this law but that is just my opinion

hey i have a question for everyone, if ur goin down the interstate and u see a funeral line of cars goin or comming, what do u do? just keep goin at 65? i'm curious b/c my friend asked me about this the other day and i was like IDK

 

Mack E-6, From the Illinois Rules of the Road, just as an example.

Emergency Vehicles
When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle using visual signals, Illinois law
requires motorists to yield, change to a lane away from the emergency vehicle, and proceed
with caution. If a lane change is not possible, reduce speed and proceed with caution.
When being approached by an emergency vehicle using audible and visual signals,
Illinois law requires motorisits to immediately pull to the right side of the road and wait
for the emergency vehicle to pass. If stopped at an intersection with two-way traffic,
remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes.
Penalties for violations of this law may result in the loss of driving privileges for a minimum​

of 90 days for a first offense.


It makes no difference whether the road is multi or two lane.

 

Well, I've read some of the posts in this thread. Just putting in a side note that I've noticed here in Indiana lately. When I've seen 4 wheelers and/or big trucks pulled over by city/county/state/DOT, I've noticed that the officers are pulling their cars off the road better, and also going to the passenger side of the vehicle now instead of the driver side for the most part. I've seen a couple of cops still standing on the driver side with their "butt hanging out in the wind", but for the most part they're going to the passenger side now. And if they have the driver out of the car, they're standing well off the road in the grass. Maybe they're finally figuring it out.
