Follow These Rules When in a Procession of Funeral Cars
On Monday, we told you some courtesy rules for approaching or being in the vicinity of a procession of funeral cars. But do you know what you are supposed to do if you are actually involved in the procession? If you are driving one of the funeral cars following the hearses to the cemetery, here are some things to keep in mind.
• Turn your headlights on. This is so other cars can see you clearly and they are alerted that you are part of the procession.
• Stay in your position. It is extremely rude to even try to pass the car in front of you while driving in the procession.
• Keep up with the procession. If you fall too far behind, you may lose the other cars and all the cars behind you will be lost, too.
• Use caution at intersections. Although funeral cars are allowed to go through stop lights and intersections, drivers these days simply do not pay attention and they could plow into you. Just take a quick look both ways to see if it looks like any cars are going to pose a problem before proceeding through the intersection.
