Would It Then Be Legal To Ignore That Red Traffic Light?
If you are stuck at the traffic lights, and an ambulance or fire engine comes towards you from the back with sirens wailing, should you make way for it and drive to the front of the cars besides you? I.e. ignoring the "Stop" sign and driving past the marker for vehicles.
Would you be breaking the law? If you don't, wouldn't you be possibly commiting indirect murder of someone suffering a heart attack, or someone caught in a blaze?
Hmmm, lemme know if you do. If not, I guess I will just have to visit my friendly neighbourhood Constable Ah Cai and hope he does.
P.S. And why the heck are they called fire engines? Wouldn't anti-fire engines be more apt?
