Do you always stop for a funeral procession

If you're on the other side of the highway? Obviously yielding the right of way and at an intersection is a given but if they are on the other side of the highway then personally I'm not pulling over. What say the rant? Am I a dick or do you also pass the motorist that pulled over?

Yep.

You have to stop in Florida, it's the law.

If I'm on a 2 lane road I pull over. I don't if there's a median.

Unless it's an interstate going in the opposite direction.

Other side of highway? Not a chance

I dont. I take advantage of everyone else pulled over and drive 20 miles faster than the speed limit while honking insults in Morse code.

Only yielding the right of way.
Pulling over is pointless now since most roads are wide enough to allow the funeral procession and oncoming traffic to safely pass.

If I can, yes.

I've never heard of doing this.

Nah. We actually held one of these up at a BLM protest in Atlanta by camping in the middle of the highway.

Never.
If people in front of me stop, I drop it into 4x4 and go around on the median. I'd want the same if I were in the casket, baw.

It was customary to "give the road" to the deceased and funeral procession out of respect back when roads were much narrower.
Now it is pointless to do so since roads are wide enough to pass simultaneously.

Yes, always, and turn the radio down too.
Posted on 4/9/16 at 12:57 pm to Fight4LSU
Yes. Remove my hat and turn the radio off. Heathens the lot of you.

It's not pointless. It's still a sign of respect. A lot of things arose out of practicality and continue just for traditions sake. Doesn't make them pointless.

I try to pass but otherwise I honk.
