Surburban road width for heavy vehicles?
It's to allow the emergency vehicle to get whereever they need to be quickly without taking detours or stopping. If they get there quicker, they can hopefully save more lives.My son's partner is teaching my son to drive.?
It's the law.When someone tries to pass me on the right on the highway and cut me off, what do I do ?
to make sure there is no posiability that the ambulance will be slowed down and no one will get in an accident. Just think if you were hurt would u want everyone to get out of the way so you can get to the hospital quicker... maybe save your life... allways pull to the sideIs £25 an hour a rip off for a driving lesson?
uhh, so it can get through..that is, if it has its lights and/or siren on. it's an emergency, and it needs everyone out of the road so it can deal with that emergency as quickly as possible!actually you are supposed to pull over so they can get
through traffic to get to their destination rather quickly.

What is the state age for a person to sit in the front seat?
Well think about it, if you were in an ambulance with severe injuries and bruises, the ambulance woruld need all the cars to get out of the way to let you go through. If they didn't then there would be higher chances of you not surviving b4 u even get to the hospital. The same goes for a fire coz the fire truck needs the got to the fire faster to ensure that they save more people and put out the fire quicklyI need info on cons on why should cell phonrs in cars be banned?
You should pull over and let them pass so they can get to the emergency as fast as possible. If you were hurt you wouldn't want some jackass blocking the ambulance coming to save you, right?Why are people so aggressive when they drive?
Well, the best answer is--to prevent from hitting or being hit by the police, or fire or ambulance vehicle. And another reason, and a good one, is to prevent from getting a traffic ticket and a HUGE fine for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. And the judges are typically pretty angry at offenders.You have to move to the side of the road, or get out of the intersection, because these type of emergency vehicles, when proceeding with lights and siren, are travelling very fast to the scene of a crime or accident, or taking injured to the hospital. Travelling fast, they may have to make wide turns (especially the biggest fire trucks, the big hook-and-ladder engines), and if they are police vehicles, they may turn very quickly. You need to give them as much distance and leeway, so that they can see and be seen by vehicles coming from side-streets into their way of travel. Often they are travelling faster than the posted speed limit in emergency situations, and, although they cannot be reckless in their speed, they are still travelling faster than normal traffic, so they are coming up on you in a hurry from behind you.

As some have said, depending upon the laws it's usually illegal to block the movement of an emergency vehicle with lights and sirens running. However that is usually for the fully outfitted special purpose vehicles.How dangerous is it to wear a helmet for 1 week straight without taking it off?
Plus as others said it's common courtesy as you would want help that quick if on the other end of that call.
Some police and fire in my area use their personal vehicles (as they are volunteer police and fire respectively) and if I remember, depending upon the law in your area they do not get the same privileges...
How do I disengage the seat belt warning noise on my Outback?
Because moose the emergency vehicles are probably rushing to save a life so don't you think its a good idea to stop and let them go by or do you think that you have more important things to do than help save a life.Can u import a rx-7 to the us?
I can't believe that you even asked this, that is the law and you should have been given the answer if you took a drivers trianing courseBecause their job is important in saving lives, and they need to be able to get through traffic quickly for a quick rescue or to save a life. by pulling over gives them the right of way.
Who manufactures the manhole covers for the city of Daytona and FL Department of Transportation?
In larger communities it is to give the vehicle room to get down the road. Emergency response people have enough to think about on their way to a situation. You would be surprised at how many people don't even see the emergency vehicle. It is very difficult to drive a truck with up to 3000 gallons of water with the lights going and the siren wailing that is up to sometimes over 40 foot long. These vehicles need the room to get there fast. They do NOT stop very fast and they need to get there. Just put yourself in the position of the victim. You want help there as fast as possible and some one not pulling over can mean precious seconds that can save a life or a building such as your house.More Questions & Answers ...
