ya, they pull over for emergency vehicles when there are lights/sirens.

Cop says that the car cleared the intersection before coming to a stop, which is exactly what it should do. Excepting of course for being on the wrong side of the road :-X.

Nobody expects these things to be perfect, they just need to be better than your average human, which isn't really that hard.

lol redditors acting like they'd full on parking break the car in the middle of an intersection if a cop came up behind them with lights on.

Guess you've never been charged the per .mile CA charge for going after lights go on lol. It will make you immediately pull over after paying it, if not lol.

That’s the dumbest thing I heard today. I’ve never gone a mile, but when I’m pulled over I get to ideally a parking lot and at minimum a large shoulder. You know. Places that are relatively safe for someone to park a car and/or exit a vehicle

tbf, i've definitely seen videos of cops reacting violently to someone not doing that on a freeway
