If I am driving on a road, and a flying saucer with a spotlight is hovering ahead waiting to land, do I have to stop in the roadway and yield to them? Or do they have to yield to cars in the road? I checked my states driving manual and they don’t mention alien air/spacecraft at all.

I would guess that the UFO would have the right of way, as traffic would have to eventually stop for them anyways. Should I just stop in the roadway and put my hazards on so the flying saucer pilot is aware I am yielding the right of way to them?

    One incidental purpose of the Interstate Highway System is as emergency landing strips. But a VTOL craft should be able to make use of even the roughest roadways in the event of an emergency. Activate your hazards to alert the craft and any surrounding drivers of extraordinary circumstances.

    Be prepared to render aid as necessary.

      UFO’s are allowed to use roads in non-emergency situations as well. They land on low traffic roads and then quickly exit off the side of the road. Something about the way ufo’s are built, its actually safer for them to land on hard pavement and then transfer to grass then it is for them to land on grass directly.

      I think the reason the UFO road sharing laws are so unclear is because they are so new and already changing a lot. For example, some cities have banned UFO road landings and some states have built helipads specifically for UFOs, eliminating the need for road landing. However, I have seen one ufo trying to make a road landing while I was driving before. I just kind’ve pulled to the shoulder and waited as I wasn’t sure what the rules were.
