Textbook Driving: Sirens and lights, pull to the right for Prospect Heights Ambulance 9

@ EnjoyFirefighting Not so in Texas, either. This one gives me hives: Drivers should ALWAYS pull to the right and stop. We've had to handle too many crashes caused by idiots going to the left. State law is clear on the subject, but the same bad drivers who cruise in the left lane when the right lane is clear will pull to the left instead of going right even when there is nobody there.

on a road like this we are also supposed to pull over to the right; On roads with a median we can also pull to the Median. And outside the city on a road like this when the responding vehicle is in the oncoming lane and there's no traffic we don't have to pull over; otherwize we have to pull over as far as possible (also in the city): onto the grass or side-walk if necessary

@EnjoyFirefighting No pulling to the median in the State of Illinois. When being approached by an emergency vehicle using audible and visual signals, Illinois law requires motorists to immediately pull to the right side of the road and allow the emergency vehicle to pass. In some cases a complete stop may be necessary to allow the emergency vehicle to pass. If stopped at an intersection with two-way traffic, remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes.

i think the worse thing that happened to me when an emergency vehicle was passing was this teenage girl who pulled all the way to the left and nearly hit me head on as i was pulling to the right
