If you hear a siren close by but cannot see the emergency vehicle you should follow the law in your jurisdiction, which generally is to pull over safely until you are able to determine that you are not in its path.
When being approached by an emergency vehicle using sirens and light/s, state laws in the U.S. generally require motorists to immediately pull to the right side of the road and wait for the emergency vehicle to pass. If stopped at an intersection with two-way traffic, remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes.

It is manually aligned, but it takes a professional with the proper equipment, knowledge, tools, and skill. This is not a DIY job. You can do it yourself in an emergency with a string and tape measure, but I would not recommend it unless you simply do not have the money to pay someone. You will only get it close, and cannot get it perfect as it should be.It is manually aligned, but it takes a professional with the proper equipment, knowledge, tools, and skill.
