Is it the smartest, most courteous thing to do? YES.

Just my .02 cents

BTW- the move over law extends beyond emergency vehicles. It includes anything with amber strobes as well i.e., construction, tow and maintenance vehicles.
I agree. I always move over if possible, whether they have flashers on or not. It's just smart.
