Gibbons, if they have their lights and sirens on, i'm pretty sure they don't have time to write down everyone's license plate numbers - they are more so concentrating on getting to where they are needed. When people hear sirens, they freeze up like a dear in a headlight.

As all drivers should know you are to pull over to the right allowing emergency vehicles right of way. Failing to pull over could land you a $125 ticket.

at a time like that there needs to be another patrol car taking plate numbers and issuing tickets to the morons that dont stop!!

Gibbons, I really hope you NEED the police service one day and they are "to lazy" to come to help you. Give your head a shake!!! Everyone else, MOVE they have the right of way for a reason!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmm, if I remember correctly, a funeral procession has the right of way only if traffic stops for them, or if they have a police escort. It's in the SGI drivers handbook, I read it a few days ago, I'll have to go look it up.

People seem to be losing common sense... you see lights/hear sirens you need to move out of the way ASAP. Police, fire and ambulance are in repsonse to emergency, MOVE!! maybe for some it'll take them needing emergency responders before they figure out the importance of getting out of the way. Seems like there is a distinct lack of respect anymore.

Good job,if only other idiots would do the same and respect these emergancy vehicles.

My goodness child. You took time out of your day to make such observation? Congratulations. Too bad a person like you with such consideration was not at my side willing to help when I was nearly dead and being harassed and threatened, because dying people are such a hindrance to the health field and some health worker's think it's okay to threaten someone if they're probably gonna die anyway. Think outside your three foot circle.

Victim_of_Canada I don't know what your deal is but you need to go talk to someone to deal with the people that you feel wronged you and stop lumping all healthcare workers together. There are a lot more people involved than you even know and we all work our butt off so you can rip us to pieces in an online blog instead of talking to someone that can do something about it.

Terry: are you sure??? I believe on multi lane roads you are to pull over to the LEFT

at least on double laned highways you are.

i dunno but i notice a lot of the times, police cruisers turn their lights n sirens on to get through a red light, speed for a block then go back to the speed limit, ive tailed a few cruisers that do this, just to see wuts goin on. ya nothing was goin on, they just wanted to go fast n through a light or two.
wen workin for napa i was driving, n one decided to try go through a stop sign wen i was less then 20 feet away, no lights no sirens

Terry, blocking a police vehicle can legally be charged as Obstruction, which would garner a 3-6 month term or probation. It's a little more serious than a simple fine.
