Why is it so hard for some of you to move over to the right when you see & hear our lights & siren ?
Find answers to your legal question.

Dont panic, if it's you we are after, you will know it when we stop behind you. Otherwise pleeeeease move to the right so we can get to those who are calling for help.

I am aware that someone with their windows up may not hear the siren......that's why squads have the lights !!

Because their cars are tinted out and sound systems so loud they cant even hear themselves. Plus, the reefer cloud is so thick, they can't see through the smoke to see the lights.

I think they should have a cop follow every other cop and ambulance, with a camera to record license numbers of all the morons too stupid to pull over.

Obviously too many think the rear view mirror is for fixing makeup, and how in blazes can you hear those sirens when Radar Love is playing?

I always pull over by the way. My dad drilled mirror use into us very young.

I think alot of it is shock. They don't really know if its them your after, or someone else. I personally start to pull over, and give enough for them to go around, and if they seem to follow, then i stop. I think alot of people try to ignore it, hoping its someone else thats in trouble, and not them!

They even do it to ambulances, when there are emergencys! So... one of those questions, the world may never know!!

People don't know how to drive.

Because sometimes we are distracted. There is more going on, on the roadways than paying attention to lights and sirens. You have to look forward sometimes. It's called focusing on actually driving. And, whether it's good or right or not, there are things like cell phones going off, kids screaming in the backseat, the volume of the radio....
In other words, sometimes we just don't notice you until you're breathing down our throughts, or it's too late to do anything about it.
Don't take it personally...

I don't understand this either. I always move over, and I almost get hit by idiots who don't pay attention! I get angry when I pull over for a funeral procession and the drivers behind me honk like fools.

They just don't care!!
Keep doing the good work!

These idiots that don't get out of the way don't grasp that seconds matter. People can die because they wouldn't pull over


torrado_fan4evr
I know!!!! What the hell is wrong with those people? It's one of the first things you learn in driving school. What do they need to realize this? A loved one who dies because of their ignorance!? I hope it wouldn't come to that but my god people! Get your heads out of your arses!!

It has happened to me only once, on a very crowded Freeway ,there was no place to move over to, so I just stopped, hoping the Emergency Vehicle could find a way around all the traffic. Maybe some people don't hear or see you is the fact, that they are on a cell phone having all their attention on their conversation, instead of watching the traffic.


beez
I think newer drivers may not even be aware of this law. Others might be talking on their cell phone or have the radio playing and can't hear you. Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah, that ticks me off too. How do you miss blue lights in your rearview??


someonecanbme
It is because red and blue lights are not green and red. If you changed the blues to green-people may pull over to see the Christmas tree lights:)

I'd like to respond to this question. I really am surprised that your code 3 training, if any, didn't include a simple fact. A person driving an auto with the windows rolled up and the radio on cannot hear an emergency vehicle approaching until the emergency vehicle is within approximately 75' to 100'. Try it some time and see.


Dena T
lol. amen. I would like to know the same thing, unless your deaf (if you are you shouldn't be driving anyway) then you need to move over

thank you!!


Leilani B
Can't seem to understand this also! I always see it happen, when some people just don't care!!


Ryan
No matter what there will always just be ignorant idiots who just don't care even though I'm sorry to say it.

Gee, I don't know...maybe because you fly up behind them so fast they panic.


Tekedo
i think people dot do it becouse there are to few role moddles. people think that evry one else will move so no one dose. educating people about that would probobly the key. adn some times theres trafc so thay cant. others want to so dont blame the people who try.

Because capitalists are slow and want to live for longer hence being careful
