I'll add one more gripe to the way people are driving these days...
When I took Driver's Ed some 20+ years ago, I'm pretty sure I remember learning one is to pull to the right and come to a complete stop when an emergency vehicle approaches with its lights and siren going. I wonder if that is still the case?

I guess they were in a bigger hurry than the ambulance!
I know it was four lanes, but I understand the rule to be the same and I have had folks pass me on a two lane road in the same situation. I don't pull over and stop on a divided 4 lane road (like the interstate with a median) in the same situation. Am I wrong?
