What should you do when an emergency vehicle is flashing its lights?

When an emergency vehicle is flashing its lights, the appropriate response is to pull over to the far right lane if possible. This action allows the emergency vehicle to pass safely and quickly, which is essential in situations where they may be responding to urgent calls or emergencies. By moving to the right, you minimize the risk of obstructing their path and ensure that you are not in the way of their response.

Texas law requires drivers to yield to emergency vehicles, and doing so contributes to public safety. Pulling over helps create a clear lane for the emergency responders, which can be crucial in saving lives or responding effectively to incidents. Maintaining speed or stopping in place would hinder their movement, and changing lanes to the left may not provide a clear path, especially if there are other vehicles present in that lane.
