"Here
comes an emergency
vehicle!!!
What do I do now?"
The law specifically states, if the
lights and siren are activated . . .
You must yield the right of way!
You must drive to the far right edge of the curb!
You must clear an intersection!
You must stop!
What to do!
Pull to the far right side of the
roadway if possible.
If you can't pull to the right, leave room for the emergency vehicle
to get by.
If you have already stopped, stay
put.
After the emergency vehicle has
passed, re-enter the travel lane with
caution.
Keep intersections clear, you never know which way the emergency
vehicle will have to go.
Do not try to follow an emergency
vehicle.
If you come upon an intersection blocked by the police, be especially
on the look-out for emergency vehicles entering the area.
Pay attention all the time.
You never know when an emergency
vehicle will cross your path. It's a good idea to check your mirrors
frequently
and keep your radio at a low level. Keeping a window
cracked will help you hear
an approaching siren.
What is an emergency vehicle?
The law says an authorized
emergency vehicle can be:
A fire department vehicle
A police vehicle
An ambulance
Private vehicles driven by fire
fighters and ambulance personnel on
the way to an emergency situation
