I drive for a living, all day everyday. Towns, motorways, rural, you name it, I drive on it. I will mount curbs, pull onto hardshoulders, drive in bus lanes, stop on padestrian crossings if need be, so I can make room for emergency services to get through if they need to. And I've NEVER got a ticket for doing that. I've got one for driving in a bus lane so I could avoid a queue, but never for diving into a bus lane to let a cop/ambulance/fire engine get through.
ok. maybe that cam across abit wrong. i have always moved over for emergency vehicles and will do in the future. but if police officers are supposed to re-inforce the law then they should not be breaking it and expect you to when it suits them. it would be different if u got pulled 2 in the mornin for not stopping at a red light that had just changed (unablr to break in time) and u get a ticked from a police officer sat at the cross roads.
