When seconds count, it can save lives.
Weโve had recent examples where drivers completely ignore the Police vehicle behind them. Other drivers slow right down without safely pulling over, and delay Police from responding to emergency situations. Please help us by allowing our team to get to those in need, so we can save lives.
Top tips when an emergency services vehicle approaches with lights and sirens:
๐ You are required by law to pull to the side of the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
๐ If the lights and siren of the Police vehicle continue past you, you can resume your journey.
๐ Make sure you check the road is clear before moving on.
