Move Over or Risk Lives: The Importance of Yielding to Emergency Vehicles

SHARE NOW

When sirens blare and lights flash, every second counts.

Emergency responders—whether firefighters, paramedics, or law enforcement—need a clear path to reach those in danger. Yet, too often, drivers fail to yield, causing dangerous delays.

Mississippi law requires motorists to pull over to the right and stop when an emergency vehicle approaches with lights and sirens activated.

Ignoring this law isn’t just reckless, it’s illegal. Failure to yield can result in fines, penalties, and, more importantly, put lives at risk.

Officials urge drivers to stay alert, avoid distractions, and always be ready to move over.

Every moment matters in an emergency so do your part. Pull over, make way, and help save lives.

    You never know when seconds could mean the difference in someone’s life. And whoever they are going to help, or whoever is in there is someone’s family member or friend. You never know it could be one of yours that you don’t know about you.

    I just moved back from Arizona after 8 years & the motorists knew the importance of pulling over for any/all emergency vehicles up in the mountains! And for that matter, so did most of the beautiful state of Arizona, no matter where you would encounter emergency vehicles and/or lights! A few extra minutes can make a difference in trying to save lives! Stay alert while driving ~
