These laws are all about protecting the people who's jobs are to be out on those roads with cars.

I would be very interested in learning what are the statistics before and after the rule was applied. How many injuries and deaths by motor vehicle impact to emergency service personnel were there before and what were they reduced to?
How do these stats cross reference to the motor vehicle accident numbers near emergency vehicles with flashing lights?
My gut feel is that we may actually have more people injured after the rule's implementation than before. But happy to be proven wrong.
A decision to implement a rule like this in a new state must be based on hard data, surely!
