In the US - in most (all?) states that I am aware of - the law requires that, on an un-divided highway, you "Yield the Right-Of-Way" to emergency vehicles.
Ambulance and Fire Truck drivers can take down your license plate numbers and you can get a ticket or fine for not yielding to them.

How does one yield right of way to an Ambulance on an expressway?
As an EMT, I work on the ambulance a lot and I've seen many ways people try to get out of the way of an ambulance.
