Emergency Vehicles and the Rules of the Road

Time is the enemy in any emergency. You can help emergency responders get to the scene as quickly as possible by following the rules of the road.

I had to look this up because just now an emergency vehicle passed me and i had no idea what to do and I felt terrible. Thank you for this video. I needed to watch it.

Remember, it could be you anxiously waiting for an ambulance, fire truck or police. BE MINDFUL!

Lol It's just me but I LOVE pulling over for the emergency vehicles. I always wish there was always a EMS behind me and I just get excited. Idk why 😂

Helpful. Had this happen to me a couple days ago and I was afraid of pulling to the right side in fear that they would hit me from behind so I pulled to the left into the opposite side of the road (which no cars were in). Felt bad I got in their way

I was on the left lane and stopped at a red light, and a fire truck was behind me and kept horning at me. I almost panicked, but fortunately, there was no car on the right lane, so I turned on right signal and turned right to let the fire truck pass. I could feel that some other drivers were staring at me. Maybe I should have turned right earlier? But there was a red light! And I panicked!

For all of us who mostly forget things and sometimes we so focus on ourselves or even just having a brain fog can make us anxious of what to do next when encountering a sudden problems

Okay so I was honked at cause I turned to the right lane and fully stopped? So wtf did I do wrong if that’s literally what it says to do LOL.

Thank you, everything is clear and easy

What if you’re in an intersection (red light) then the emergency vehicle is behind you and there’s another car beside you. Do i run the red light? Or wait for it to turn green?

[m.h.]

This was so helpful. It always made me anxious whenever I would hear the sirens, I never know which side to go. If we’re supposed to go to the right side of the road, what do we do if the ambulance wants to make a right too? This happened to me on the road. The ambulance was behind me and needed to make a right onto the highway but I was making a right with it😅, so the only thing that made sense was to go to the left…is this right?

Having this kind of instruction are nice to have to follow specially if the correct procedure of rules and purpose are describe when we encounter things that are new into our life.

What if you are in the first car in the middle lane and the light is red? Do you stay there or run the light to move to the right?

[ramizsalman]

If you are an emergency responder driving to the scene for example like if I’m a firetruck driver driving to the scene of a fire or other emergency and one in front of me there are two cars or three cars blocking the way by not pulling over for an emergency vehicle. If this happens do we have to call the cops for that because I’ve noticed something about it. I think that’s what happened because if they don’t follow the rules safety they might get arrested for that

[ashhens]

didnt know about middle lane thank you

[choppmonster]

I wish I didn’t have to wait for cars i would drive on the damn sidewalk lol

Hello, May I feature this video in my channel? Watermarked and linked of course. Thank You...

[johnnykananaskis]

Too many drivers just STOP, BLOCK and STARE at the pretty flashing lights in their rear view mirrors.

[stevegibson]

I would not call them rules of the road,   but more like  common sense. Great video

[alliancenavy]

What about at a stop light and tons car going by in front of you and cant get out of the way

[seana]

0:40 i was the first green car on the right, i had to pull into the intersection so big trucks behind me had room to move. After the ambulance passed i was in the middle of the intersection with a red light so i just ran it, my wife says that's wrong.
