Usually emergency service vehicles stop the siren when everyone’s held up at a red light but once on Hyde Park Corner at a red light, an ambulance came up behind and was going mental with all the variety of sirens ie move the fuck out the way. Everyone sat there.
I motioned for a private hire car to move out it’s way and he rolled through the red. Afterwards a black cabbie came flying up beside me leaning on his horn, told me not to tell people to do that because they can still get a ticket.
I said “somebody could be dying you selfish prick” and rode off.

I checked the law: When you are are at a red light and an emergency vehicle is behind you you can treat it like a give way junction so that cabbie is talking out his fucking arse.
It is also an offence to block emergency vehicles.
