Yes, it's the law here in the states. However, I have been in the car with a panicking driver who started to move in one direction and then in another and then said he didn't know what to do. The opposite lane was clear so I told the driver "Don't move!" because the ambulance, even though you are supposed to move out of their way, would much rather go around you if you are sitting still than have to slow down and/or wait because you are still moving and they don't know what you're doing.

My mother was a volunteer EMT for several years and while she never drove, she was often shotgun and she witnessed some radical shit by drivers.
