Pulling Over for a Siren

• For an approaching police vehicle with a siren or blue lights, or an ambulance, fire apparatus or rescue vehicle with a siren or red lights, other vehicles pull to the right and stop until it passes.
• Approaching a stopped police, emergency or towing and repair vehicle with its lights on, a driver proceeds with caution and, on a multilane highway where safe, changes to a lane farther away.
• A driver who must stay in the next lane slows to a reasonable, safe and prudent speed.
