SCARY
I never know what direction the sirens are coming from. I’m always terrified this will happen to me ‘cos I hear them way before I see them & at that point, they’re almost on top of me.
duh!
#2- that’s why the law requires you to pull over when you hear the sirens – not when there on top of you.

actually the law requires police to stop at the red light first before continuing through..
