9.7 Emergency Vehicles
When any emergency vehicle with its emergency flashing lights and/or sirens active is approaching, drivers are expected to pull-over to the side of the road and stop their vehicle as quickly, and as safely as possible to allow the vehicle(s) to pass, regardless of the direction in which the emergency vehicle is traveling.
In the event that a law-enforcement vehicle has stopped behind a driver’s vehicle, at the side of the road, drivers are expected to turn-off their vehicle’s engine, unlock their door(s), open the driver’s-side window, remain stationary within their vehicle and wait for further instructions from law-enforcement personnel.

Many citizens first don't know, that you HAVE TO pull over on the side of the road if you see activated emergency lights behind you. I was some time a paramedic, I got an respond. Started my vehicle, activated the ELS and began driving, but no one were pulling over. The victim died because of that (0% real story, but can happen).

Really often seen with police cars. Accidents. Police Officers just ignore their care damage and drive along. When I crash into police cars (as police officer) accidently, I stop my car and but the indicators on. Police officer ignores me and drives along.
Thanks for reading this thread and watch out (as government worker) if you do an accident.
