When a siren wails in the distance, it signals a race against time. In the medical world, the "Golden Hour" refers to the window of time in which prompt treatment can prevent death. For an ambulance or fire truck, every driver on the road is either an ally or an obstacle in that race.
Responding to emergency vehicles is a test of a driver’s situational awareness. The instinct for many is to slam on the brakes immediately, but this can cause secondary accidents. Instead, the "pull to the right" rule is a coordinated dance that requires everyone to move in unison. It is a moment where the individual's "right to the road" is suspended for the collective good. A disciplined traffic driver remains calm, signals their intent, and clears a path, understanding that the seconds they save might be the difference between a life saved and a life lost.
