Flashing Blue Lights

If you're in the way of an emergency vehicle approaching using its flashing blue lights, headlights or siren, you should:

  • Pull over, keeping an eye out for pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles
  • Signal to let people know what you're doing
  • Pull in as far as you can, leaving a gap big enough for the emergency vehicle to get through
  • Keep calm; and
  • Stay alert - there may be more vehicles coming
  • The last thing an emergency service driver wants you to do is brake suddenly in front of them
