are people in brentwood stupid?

if a firetruck is hurling down the road, flashing its red lights (flash! flash!) and honking its very loud horn (honk! honk!), you move to the side of the road and STOP. i know you must think that where you are going is very important, but it's not more important than the lives of the people the firetruck is going to save ... so get off the phone, pull your ass to the right, and halt your vehicle until the firetruck has passed. it's common knowledge here in the U.S. .... i usually avoid brentwood altogether, but i had to drive through it to get to malibu.
