Yield
Unlike with stop signs, drivers aren’t required to come to a complete stop at a yield sign and may proceed without stopping -- provided that it is safe to do so.
If you are approaching a stationary emergency vehicle and it is displaying its flashing lights, you must proceed with caution and reduce your speed to that of a reasonable and safe speed for the road conditions. If you are on a highway with at least four lanes (at least two of which allow travel in the same direction you are heading), yield the right-of-way by safely “moving over” to a lane that is not next to the lane the emergency, highway, or recovery vehicle is occupying.
Move-over Law
Following behind a car too closely. Tailgating is dangerous because you may not have
enough time to stop if needed, and could cause a rear-end accident. Tailgating is illegal.
