On the (hopefully) rare occasions that a blue light vehicle, in ’emergency mode’, is sitting behind another vehicle at a red traffic light, it’s important to appreciate that it would be both very dangerous and illegal for the other vehicle to move across the solid white line. The exception to this is that a uniformed police officer can direct a motorist through a red traffic signal. This sometimes happens if a police motorcyclist is part of a ‘special escort’ team and needs to clear and secure a junction, thus allowing a security convoy to pass through the junction.
I get very annoyed at drivers who won't RLJ when an emergency vehicle on full blues-and-twos is stuck behind them.
Hello?! This is it! The one chance to RLJ with impunity; so break the rule book and be a good citizen at the same time. Don't just sit there like a compliant drone.
