    Re: Who pulls over the cops?

    What are you supposed to do when you see lights flashing behind you?

    This is what I do:

    - Stopped at an intersection. I stay put until the emergency vehicles have passed.
    - On a city street. Pull over to the curb and stop.
    - On a two lane highway with little traffic. Maintain speed or maybe slow down a little. Stop and pull over if I can.
    -On a two lane highway with lots of traffic. Never really encountered this but I would probably slow down and hug the side of the road or stop.
    - On a interstate or four lane highway. Just move to the right lane and maintain speed.

    Is that correct?

    Hell no that's not correct; when you see those lights, you STEP on it!

    In general, you want to move to the opposite lane that the emergency vehicle is headed (usually the right lane is where you want to be) and slow down. Slam your brakes on and cause an accident? No. But slow down and move over is the general, common sense practice.

    And you have it pretty well covered... stopping on city streets is good. Everyone trying that on the highway from 70-80 mph is not good, but slowing down definitely is.
