Side Pull
Why should we have to pull to the side of the road and stop when a funeral procession is driving by?
That is so annoying, I don’t have time to stop for some dead guy!
Since a few people asked this. It would not bother me if I was in a funeral procession and people didn’t stop. I was in one when my grandfather died last year and seeing people pull over like that just seems silly.
Based on some of your other questions, do I detect a streak of sarcasm? *smile* I think everyone just needs to lighten up just a tad.
SO okay, let’s be clear here. Are you talking about pulling to the side for a procession heading the in the opposite direction or crossing your path?
Many states have laws requiring us to yield the right of way to a funeral procession, but few would require you to stop simply because a procession is ‘passing by’.
The ones who do stop, as others have stated, are doing it out of respect, a tradition that pre-dates the automobile by centuries. While I have no problem with that, they need to make sure they are not creating a hazard themselves in doing so. They might even be breaking local laws…

AS far as giving the right of way, that makes more sense and probably should be adhered to as most in the procession are assuming you are going to give it to them. Many even have police escort in my state (Ohio.)
Here is what our law says in Ohio…
The law defines a funeral procession as two or more vehicles accompanying a dead person in the daytime and operating with headlights lit and displaying a purple and white pennant. Pedestrians and other vehicles, except emergency vehicles or vehicles directed by a police officer, must yield right-of-way to the procession. The other vehicles in the procession can follow the lead vehicle that lawfully entered the intersection regardless of the traffic signal, provided they exercise due care (Ohio Code ยง 4511. 451).
Here is an article from only a few years ago that shows the laws for many states that have them…

Good luck. Be Safe. God Bless.
