NO. When being approached by an emergency vehicle using sirens and light/s, state laws in the U.S. generally require motorists to immediately pull to the right side of the road and wait for the emergency vehicle to pass. If stopped at an intersection with two-way traffic, remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes. You should check the law in your particular jurisdiction.

Mail truck !!! The reason being it is part of the Federal Gov. I would definitely say that the ambulance and fire truck have the right of way, if they are going to an emergency or transporting a person to the hospital. Very extensive discussion with citations and references at: http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/fourway.asp Bottom line, the mail truck is LAST.
Look at the white line and keep some light on in front , so that blinding effect be minimized.
