If the funeral procession is in the left-most lane, other traffic is allowed to pass on the right. You shouldn't be changing procession lanes right at an exit ramp . . . no wonder you're having problems in traffic. Traffic is allowed to cross through the procession if it gets them out of the way and able to pass or exit the highway. You need to use hand signals more to communicate with oncoming traffic more so they understand there is a funeral procession approaching. Your purple lights are not as visible as you think, and you don't present yourself like an escort vehicle as well as you think. Revving your engine will not intimidate or influence traffic to stop or move over -- how about using your horn or a whistle ? Why are you blocking an intersection that is "green" for your traffic ? You've already established the intersection and the procession is already passing through it. Get up to the front again so you can grab the next intersection that you do not have the right-of-way.
You know nothing about what you are talking about here is the law as stated. (a) A person driving a motor vehicle that is not a part of a funeral procession shall not: (1) Drive between the motor vehicles of a funeral procession while the motor vehicles are in motion; (2) Join a funeral procession for the purpose of securing the right-of-way allowed by § 27-49-113(c)(1); (3) Pass a funeral procession on a multiple-lane highway on the right side of the funeral procession unless the funeral procession is in the leftmost lane; or (4) Enter an intersection when a funeral procession is proceeding through a red official traffic control signal as permitted by § 27-49-113(c)(1) unless the driver of the motor vehicle enters the intersection without crossing the path of the funeral procession. This is a law in Arkansas put in place in 2017.
