感謝牡羊婷讓我晃到這個我一直不知道該怎麼辦的事情。
簡單講,如果你開車遇到閃燈的警車(救護車,消防車),請你:
1. 如果同方向有多線道,請不要開在鄰近緊急車輛的那一道上,換一道。(有多遠閃多遠)
2. 如果是單線道,請把速度降到比標誌少20MPH以下。(有多慢開多慢)
如果違規,這一張200塊喔。
Come to find out, this is a new state law as of September 1, 2003. From the TX DPS website, the law reads:
SB 193 requires drivers nearing a stopped emergency vehicle that has lights activated, unless otherwise directed by a law enforcement officer, to: Vacate the lane closest to the emergency vehicle, if the highway has two or more lanes traveling the direction of the emergency vehicle; or
Slow to a speed not more than 20 miles per hour (mph) less than the posted speed limit when the posted speed limit is 25 mph or more; or Slow to a speed not more than five mph when the posted speed limit is less than 25 mph. A violation is a punishable by a maximum fine of $200. If the violation results in property damage, the maximum fine increases to $500. If the violation results in bodily injury, the offense is enhanced to a Class B misdemeanor. Yes, I got a ticket for going less than the posted speed limit for this total.
