Run a red light to save a life

Run a red light to save a life

August 29, 2023

Have you ever been at a red light, traffic banked up behind you, when suddenly you hear sirens and see the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle in your rear-view mirror? What to do?

In this scenario, you can legally pull into the intersection to let the emergency vehicle pass. It must be the only option available, and you need to make sure you do it safely.
Be aware of any traffic that may still be passing through the intersection when you pull out, and if there’s a red-light camera, it’s probably going to take a picture of your number plate. You can challenge the fine if an emergency vehicle is visible in the photo.

What if it’s not safe to pull into the intersection? Remain stationary. The paramedics will find a way around you.
