If you see red flashing lights behind you when you are out driving, do you immediately get nervous?

• huh?
  
  Red lights can mean police, highway patrol, ambulance, fire... red lights does not simply mean "chief" in the US...
  
  oh, and not to be a nasty, bitter queen, but how about spell check? kay?

• Again - that may be true where YOU live - but as far as I can tell, there is no "standardization" as you suggest. California cops have red and blue - both city and CHiPs. I checked online and it appears IL has similar color variety.
  
  Google Police Light Bars, and you'll see the broad range.
  
  The only thing I know for sure: Red means emergency vehicle, get out of the way. Yellow means non-emergency vehicle requires caution.

• ah, so you change your universal proposition to a specific and it is NOW valid.
  
  You really need to be careful stating generalizations as fact.
