Not pulling over and stopping for an approaching police car, ambulance, fire truck, or other authorized emergency vehicle using lights or siren.

"Failure" means a driver did not do what the law required in time. "Stop" usually means moving to the right side of the road, clearing the lane, and remaining there until the emergency vehicle has passed, unless an officer directs otherwise. "Emergency vehicle" does not mean every work truck with flashing lights; it means vehicles given special legal status when responding to an emergency. In Kentucky, that duty appears in KRS 189.930, and related "move over" rules can also apply under KRS 189.393 when emergency or safety vehicles are stopped on the roadside.

This matters fast after a crash. A citation for this violation can support an argument that a driver was negligent or reckless, especially on narrow roads, in low visibility, or during ice storms when stopping late can cause a chain-reaction collision. On routes with sharp curves and short sight distance, such as stretches of the AA Highway, seconds matter.

For an injury claim, the violation can reduce or complicate recovery under Kentucky's comparative fault rules. Kentucky is also a no-fault state, so PIP benefits may pay up to $10,000 per person for initial medical costs and lost wages, but fault still matters once injuries are serious enough to pursue a broader personal injury claim. Evidence disappears quickly, so reports, dashcam footage, and witness statements should be secured right away.
