the law states you pull over and let the red lights pass.......NOT speed up - PULL OVER and STOP.

I was driving an ambulance on the highway with a CPR going on in the back.......an idiot was matching my speed blocking me in in the passing lane.......after a hand gesture on my part indicating my lights......and my siren was going....he sped up to over 90 and disappeared......guess he thought he was more important than my patient. my only regret was that I couldn’t get someone on my radio to come arrest him. he was one of the biggest jerks I ever encountered.

does THAT answer your question?

The OP did specify "non-emergency."

I had an ambulance materialize behind me on a state road recently. He was so close to me that I could not see his rooftop lightbar in my rearview mirror. As it was daylight, I didn’t have the sense that his lights were on. Most ambulances have the lights in the grille as well, but this one didn’t. It was a bit of a fluke, but maybe your circumstance was similar?

Not really. The OP specifically referred to non-emergency vehicles.

And thank you for your service.

The poster specified NON-EMERGENCY vehicle. Calm yourself and read the post again.
