They are right. An emergency vehicle headed the opposite direction might
decide to turn left suddenly, WHETHER THERE IS A ROAD TO TURN INTO OR NOT
(emergency vehicles don't always stay on the road). If you are stopped when
an emergency vehicle makes a sudden move to enter or cross your lane, this
is not a problem. -Dave
