Emergency Vehicles
I have driven about 4,000,000 kilometers in the last 40 years (motorcycle/car/van/semi)
The other day entering the 401 from salem road. I saw 3 OPP vehicles. (1 van type and 2 fords with big v8)
sitting at the top.(ready for something).(staging as I call it)
At that point you get up to speed at about Lakeridge road.
I just got to 100KPH then hear sirens.
I check mirrors nothing visible.
I take foot off gas pedal and continue.
I hear siren again but much louder.
Again the mirror check.(nothing)
Next I hear their siren next to my door on the shoulder.As they sped by at at least 200 kph.
It shook me up as my first intention was to pull over.
I am sure that they scared a few others as they merged and got to the outside shoulder just after that and flew off to where-ever they were going.(3 extra cops in the last car/back seat)
This is the first time in 40 years to see them do this.(pass on the right at double the speed)
I have 3 different answers from pals but I am interested to see what others on this forum think is what to do in this case.
The cops where excellent drivers and nothing happened except shaken nerves.
