What to Do When an Ambulance Approaches You While Driving in Texas

Ambulance lights

We’ve all been there – you’re driving and you see the lights from an emergency vehicle in your rearview mirror. Don’t panic, here’s what you do.

Pull Over to the Right

If you see lights or hear sirens from an ambulance, fire truck, or police car approaching from behind you while you’re driving, you should immediately yield to the vehicle. Begin by merging into the right shoulder or right lane and slowly come to a stop. Remain stopped until the emergency vehicles have passed.

Move Over or Slow Down Law

What if instead of an emergency vehicle approaching from behind, you are coming up on emergency vehicles stopped on the road or the shoulder? In this instance, the Move over or Slow Down Law states that you must either move over a lane or slow down to 20 mph below the speed limit when approaching emergency vehicles – this includes ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, tow trucks, utility service vehicles, TxDOT vehicles, or other highway construction/maintenance vehicles with activated flashing lights on the roadside.

Wonderful experience from the moment of walking in, they make you feel so welcomed. The little details of even putting your name on the whiteboard welcoming you. All along the way they keep you informed on the progress, asking detailed questions to get the full picture of your individual needs. The team you're assigned, all work together to make a stressful and scary situation easy to deal with. Kelsey, Aaron and Abraham ate the best!! Thank you again 💓.

I had an awesome experience with Hudson law firm. Everyone at the office is so nice and treated me with respect and concern from day 1. They make you feel welcomed when you go into the office. In the end they were able to get me a check even though I still have a journey ahead they were able to help compensate me for some of my pain and suffering.

No one wants to deal with the aftermath of an accident, but if you do find yourself in that situation, these folks make the experience so much easier. I felt comfortable with them from my very first meeting. They even had a welcome message for me in their lobby. They are great people to work with and I am happy with the outcome.

A law firm like such is hard to find, one that cares for their clients with such passion. I worked with them for almost 2 years. He has always been friendly, professional, helpful, and over all amazing. He was patient with my silly questions. He is beyond paralegal. I will certainly recommend this firm to others,
