Do you know what to do when there are emergency lights in your rear view mirror? Do your young driver's know what to do when they hear an ambulance siren while driving?

Surprisingly, many people do not know the proper way to pull over - and timing is everything for the person or people who need them.

The South Dakota Online Driver's Manual states,"You must yield the right-of-way to a police vehicle, fire engine, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle using a siren, air horn, or a red or blue flashing light. Pull over to the right edge of the road or as near to the right as possible when you see or hear an emergency vehicle approaching from any direction. If you are in an intersection, drive through the intersection before you pull over. If a driver fails to come to a complete stop in these situations, they can be imprisoned in the county jail for up to 30 days or fined up to $200 or both."
