Maybe I'm wrong, but if an emergency vehicle is on the shoulder, you slow down and move over one lane to the left. Now this is the part I think some people don't understand is if you see an emergency vehicle actually responding, then move over to the RIGHT and stop so the emergency vehicle can utilize the left lanes and median if necessary to get by. Almost had a head on collision this morning by some idiot moving over to the left and stopping in the median while the rapid response vehicle was two inches behind him just being wreckless and not being under control of his own vehicle. I don't think any of these volunteer emergency responders get any kind of driver training, but thats beside the point im trying to make. I also see too many people panicking when an emergency response vehicle is coming up behind them. Chill out, you dont have to get over if you can't safely do so. My point is you're really creating dangerous situation if you're moving to the left because the rapid response vehicle is relying on that lane to be open.
