Go Right For Lights and Sirens
Every day, emergency vehicles respond to urgent requests for help from the public. The call may be for an armed hold-up in progress, fire alarm, or someone having a heart attack. All drivers must know their responsibilities when approached by an emergency vehicle with lights flashing and siren sounding.
Do you know what to do?
- Don't panic and slam on the brakes.
- Pull as near as possible and parallel to the right-hand edge or curb and stop.
- Remain stopped until the emergency vehicle has passed.
- Don't stop in the middle of a curve.
- Don't stop on or while cresting a hill.
Precious minutes lost while responding to an emergency can be the difference between life and death. Help us help others by pulling to the right and stopping!
