Can you pass a firetruck?
It is illegal to pass a fire apparatus when it is responding to an emergency with its lights and/or sirens activated. If the fire truck is driving without its lights or sirens activated, it is no different than any other vehicle. That being said, keep in mind that a fire crew can be called to an emergency at any time, and it is best to leave them room to change lanes, move around stopped traffic, etc. Also, keep in mind that most firetrucks are large, heavy vehicles, and are often carrying thousands of litres of water. This means that they cannot maneuvre as quickly as a passenger car. It takes a firetruck longer to accelerate and stop that the average car. For your safety, and the safety of everybody else, keep clear of all emergency vehicles while they are responding to an emergency. Pull to the right and STOP when an emergency vehicle approaches you.
What type of Vehicles MUST you yield the right-of-way to in an Emergency situation?

yes you must pull over for mail trucks the law states that the mail truck is the only government offical vehicle that you must pull over for. The ambulances and police cars are common manners No, you do not have to pull over for mail trucks. No state in the country has a law that requires anyone to give a mail truck the right-of-way. Also, there is no federal statute that overrides the state law. On the other hand, all states have laws that require other vehicles to give the right-of-way to emergency vehicles. But a mail truck is not defined as an emergency vehicle.

Which vehicle has the right of way on the road an emergency vehicle or the U S mail?
Mail truck !!! The reason being it is part of the Federal Gov.

Very extensive discussion with citations and references at: http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/fourway.asp Bottom line, the mail truck is LAST.
