A. Keep texting until you can safely hit send.

B. Tell the person you're talking to on your cell that you may have to hang up, but I'm listening anyway.

C. If the fire engine or ambulance has room to pass, keep going at the speed limit.

D. Look to see if anyone else cares.

E. Drive to the right side of the road and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed.


Not one person could answer this question correctly just a few minutes ago on Lake Mead Parkway just east of South Boulder Highway. Las Vegas? Same thing. Par for the course when you learn how to drive from your friends. I guess you could add F. Make sure it isn't lunch time and that they aren't trying to get ahead of you to the burger king drive through.

Not sure about NV traffic laws, but answer E could also be correct when an emergency vehicle approaches you from the oncoming direction, not just from the rear.

Or coming out from a cross street, or coming out of the station, or you hear but don't see, or you see but don't hear, or...

Also if you hear Police sirens, look around there just might be someone driving crazy trying to elude the Police. These idiots may be driving a stolen car and they could care less crashing into you trying to escape.

Also where there is one Cop there is two, so watch out for that second police car or third as they all want to get in on the action and they might not have their sirens on.

So pulling to the right is more of a NV thing, what's normal in the majority of states?

You forgot to make an option "F" which I've also seen. That would be "run them and see who gets there first."

I've watched on a number of occasions an ambulance or fire truck trying to make it through an intersection with nobody letting them go. It doesn't usually happen with a police car though.
