When emergency vehicles (police, fire trucks, ambulance) are driving with lights flashing and/or sirens other vehicles on the road are supposed to pull over to allow them full access to all available lanes. Do you pull over and stop like you are supposed to in this situation?

It truly bothers me to know someone is in crisis waiting for the police, firefighters, or EMTs and someone who is in a hurry doesn't yield because they think their life matters more. Do you feel the same way? Yes
