Even if an emergency vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction, drivers on an undivided road must pull over to the right and stop to provide a clear path.
Even if there are no painted lines, a legal "unmarked crosswalk" exists at nearly every intersection, and drivers are required to stop for pedestrians within it.
When exiting a highway, you should maintain your speed until you are fully in the deceleration lane; braking in the main travel lane is a common and dangerous cause of high-speed rear-end collisions.
The 'Move Over' Law doesn't just protect police cars and ambulances; it requires drivers to change lanes or slow down for any stationary service vehicle with flashing lights, including tow trucks and highway maintenance crews.
One of the most dangerous mistakes a driver can make is merging onto a highway too slowly, as failing to match the speed of traffic can cause severe rear-end collisions.
