On a 4 lane interstate, I pull over, even if that means speeding up or slowing down to merge into the traffic.

dayum... Kick the man while he's down

Truth be had though most of us don't think about that stuff (including me). It's nice to see a Hummer driver actully set a good example rather than be a total jackass like the Hummer mall rats that are everywhere.

Fishn, hope you are able get out of yer ticket. Keep us posted though. No ones perfect.

They are cracking down on that law in Arizona its called the gore point law. Its a warning here in Arizona now, but soon they will begin fining for it. 8 cops have been killed in 2 years here with someone pulled over and getting run over or rear ended sending all the cars in the cops direction.

seeing all the vids about cops and such being hit, go to court state your case take your medicine...

Recent law here too.

I searched through the entire list of numbered citations from California DMV web site and couldn't find it listed.

From that I would assume there is no law here as yet.

If anyone has information, I would like to know as I don't like to be blind-sided.

It is good to have this heads up about the law in other states which I wouldn't have known about otherwise.

Best regards, Happy Jack

These laws on pulling over for emergency vehicles are just such a joke. Sure it is courteous to slow down and /or move to the next available lane when approaching emergency vehicles on the side of the road, and most people do this. But because Cops or some other law enforcement show showed some drunk plowing into a police car and got it on their video system, They easily lobby legislatures to protect those officers who are on the side of the road for 20 minutes at a time.

But for road workers (including laborers, technicians, and professionals) who work on the side of the road for hours at a time (usually not for major work which usually are properly delineated) to conduct site investigations, soil borings, or sign maintenance and only have a weak yellow flashing light and maybe a couple of signs that say "Men Working" or the like, get no courtesy law at all!!!

I'll bet if they did have a law that protected them a cop wouldn't be out there waiting for someone to slow down but not move over and give them a ticket.

Aren't there already laws that say you can't hit cars and people along the road? Self-serving legislatures! [/soapbox]

Ignorance is bliss for those who dont work in a dangerous enviroment. You sit behind your desk and thisnk your stress levels are rising becuase your coffee what ever is not at the right tempurature. Pull head from where ever and have some common sense. Stop whining because you got a ticket:have to move over for a police officer or that worker,grandma on the interstate. These people who are shining are the same people who gripe that the police didnt sto the vandals or thieves who broke into their home or car. oh ya they didnt get there fast enough either. They are also the onew who whine about the road being rough and traffic being bad. Let me remind those who think getting a ticket for common sense issues like not moving over for a cop is the end of the world, DRIVING IS A PREVILIGE! NOT A RIGHT!. i hope the cop or fireman these people kill dont need that cop or fireman to someday save their lives. God bless and long live things like Hummers. A cop!

As an expert on posting drunk, I can say you are quite wasted, aren't you?

Have another donut and keep your drunkin dribble to yourself. I only asked for some feedback, so don't lecture me!. As a cop, you should understand that giving a ticket with conflicting information (Violation title with the wrong code number listed) means a day in court, and I WILL beat it! The law here gives two situations when a cops is on side of the road on what to do...., and when it says do this "or" do that, I can't be cited for doing one or the other. I slowed down, as opposed to pull into the far lane. So, we will let a judge decide.

And FYI....here in Alaska, I don't need a cop to protect me from a vandal or thief...we carry our own justice here! Oh, and one last thing, I drive a Hummer, why would I complain about a rough road? Maybe you've hit one too many pot holes on Acadamy Blvd?

Yes, I try and stay neutral, but the laws, in every state, do not just say law enforcment, they say for any type of emergency vehicle, and that includes tow truck drivers, fireman, ambulance driver/technicians, etc.

I have read your post a few times, and I cannot understand where you are coming from; and really don't care.

Goodbye....
