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?
Yesterday. Four lane road without a median, just a yellow line. Ambulance is in oncoming traffic with siren and lights. I pull over to the right and stop. I saw the ambulance coming quite a bit ahead of me, so I didn't stop immediately, but the ambulance was probably a city block out in front of me headed towards me when I stopped. I was driving a mid-sized car, so it wasn't like I was in a great big truck that people couldn't see around me. At least 3 people passed me and kept right on driving! 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?

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
