That is the truth. The law requires you to pull over and stop for any emergency vehicle, and does not give a time place to do so. Most officers will give you time to get to someplace reasonable if you let them know you are doing so. Slow down, put on the four way flashers or something and drive to a lit place and most cops will understand.Venus Pax wrote:Jason, congrats to you & Kimberly!
Also, you're reasoning is why I have decided not to pull over for the flashing lights on deserted roads. (I've never been pulled over on a deserted road, but have made my decision.)
Like you & Kimberly, I realize this may get me a ticket, or even a stay in the gray-bar motel, but believe it's the wisest choice.
Most officers I have talked to understand this reasoning.
Of course, there are always a few idiots in any large group, so you have to understand that some cop will get upset about it one day. I would recommend you do it anyway. And then let his supervisor know about it after the situation is done with.
