A friendly reminder from your local EMS crews:

When you see emergency lights coming up behind you, we greatly appreciate you pulling over, but a couple of things help us out even more:

> If possible, try not to stop right on top of a hill or a blind curve. This makes it difficult to see around you and more dangerous to pass.

> While we know the instinct is to get over immediately (thank you for that!), sudden panic breaking and abruptly pulling over to the shoulder can make things unpredictable for you and the people around you.

I get it, after over a decade as a first responder, I still get nervous when I see flashing lights behind me.

The best move is to:

> Slow down calmly
> Use your signal
> Pull to the right when it’s safe and visible
>Stay predictable

We know most people are trying to help, and we appreciate it more than you know. Every smooth pullover helps us get to where we are going a little faster and a lot safer.

Thanks!
