california traffic driving
If an emergency vehicle approaches from ahead while I am driving on a two-lane road with no shoulder, what am I obligated to do?
<p>This morning, I was driving along a road that had one lane going each way. There was no shoulder; to my right was just a field. Up ahead, there was an emergency vehicle coming toward me.</p>

<p>Pull over to the right edge, stop, and wait until the emergency vehicle has passed. Do it safely.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>[...] the driver of every other vehicle shall yield the right-of-way and shall immediately drive to the right-hand edge or curb of the highway, clear of any intersection, and thereupon shall stop and remain stopped until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed.</p>
