The "King of the Road" is a school bus with the red flashers on! Even running lights and sirens, emergency responders will stop and shut down the siren for children crossing the road.
yield to the emergency vehicle
Yes. You are required to yield to any emergency vehicle with active emergency indicators (flashing lights, sirens, etc).
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. On ANY road, when an emergency vehicle is coming, SLOW DOWN, or STOP and pull to the RIGHT. That is the correct way to yield right of way to an ambulance. This will help ambulance crews AA whole lot.
Ambulance is written normally on the side of the vehicle to ensure that it is easily readable to other drivers when the ambulance is approaching from behind. However, on the front, the word is often reversed or mirrored so that it appears correctly in the rearview mirrors of vehicles ahead, allowing drivers to quickly recognize the emergency vehicle and yield the right of way. This design enhances visibility and safety during emergencies.
To YIELD or to give the right-of-way.
A tank is not an emergency vehicle and is probably not covered in the vehicle code. However it would be inadvisable to contest the right-of-way with a combat vehicle weighing more than your house.
The insurance company of the vehicle found to be at fault in the collision. The fact an ambulance was involved in not important.
Ambulance comes from the Latin ambulare, to walk about.
n Ambulance
The Ambulance is kind of vehicle for transportation of sick people. It is one of the safe vehicle for Injured or sick people to take him from Casualty places to hospital.
It signals that the vehicle is officially an ambulance: if a marked vehicle suddenly begins partaking in combat then it is in breach of the Geneva Convention; if an unmarked vehicle is attacked but later claimed or discovered to be an ambulance, no fault can be placed on the attackers.
The aim of this is to allow people driving in front of the vehicle (ambulance) to see the word "AMBULANCE" when he/she looks in the rear view mirror. If the word was not reversed, the driver of the car ahead of the vehicle would see: "ECNALUBMA"
