Explanation
f you are driving on a multi-lane highway and see an emergency vehicle stopped on the side of the road with its flashing lights on, you should move over to a lane farther away, if possible. “Move over or slow down - it’s the law!” Avoid getting distracted by the scene as you pass. Stay in the farthest lane until you’ve safely passed the emergency vehicle. This gives police officers and other emergency personnel the space they need to work safely. If you cannot safely move over, you must slow down and pass with caution.
