§47-11-1108.
   
   (a) The driver of any vehicle other than one on official business
   shall not follow any fire apparatus traveling in response to a fire
   alarm closer than five hundred (500) feet or drive into or park such
   vehicle within the block where fire apparatus has stopped in answer to
   a fire alarm.
   
   (b) The driver of any vehicle other than one on official business
   shall not follow any emergency vehicle or shall not purposely drive to
   any location on a highway where an emergency exists which would
   interfere with the free movement of authorized emergency vehicles or
   any other traffic using the highway at that location. For the purpose
   of this subsection the definition of emergency shall include traffic
   accidents, airplane accidents, disasters, explosions, civil
   disturbances and (without limitation by the foregoing) any other
   related circumstances which tend to cause traffic congestion.
   
   The purpose of this subsection is to eliminate sightseers and other
   persons who do not have official business at the scene of an
   emergency, and whose presence would tend to cause traffic congestion.
