Question:
My friends and I were arguing whether or not you have to pull over for emergency vechilces even if im on the other side of the street and there's a divider seperating the two sides. I dont feel like I should have to pull over if im on the oppoosite side of the street, but my friends insist that I do. Let me know if im wrong for this so I wont get a ticket.
