Every driver should know that when you hear sirens or see flashing lights from an emergency vehicle approaching, you should safely pull your vehicle as far to the right side of the road as possible to allow the emergency vehicle to pass through unimpeded. As an important reminder to those who aren’t following this rule here are a few key points to remember from the Duchesne Fire Department. First, always yield: When you see emergency lights or hear sirens, immediately begin to move your vehicle to the right side of the road. Second, signal your intention: Use your turn signal to indicate to other drivers that you are moving over. Third, come to a complete stop: Once you are safely pulled over to the right, come to a complete stop until the emergency vehicle has passed. Finally, stay aware of your surroundings: Ensure it is safe to move over and do not abruptly change lanes if it could cause a hazard.
