I think it used to be just emergency vehicles, but now it includes tow trucks/similar work vehicles? But still not passenger vehicles with flashers (at least I think). Totally crystal clear!

The key thing is to focus on shoulder checking while slowing down to make sure you don't get clobbered by the crazy speed differential and paying less attention to the actual road in front of you where the flashing lights are. Because the messaging is that moving over is more important than slowing down. So maybe it's better to keep your speed up until the last moment to facilitate the lane change and just slam on your brakes if you can't get over?
