Driver Gets Fined For Avoiding An Emergency Vehicle
We all know that if an emergency vehicles comes up behind you when driving, you should try and let it through. If you don’t move out of the way, you are stopping the emergency vehicle from possibly saving a life.
The majority of situations, you are driving along the road as an emergency vehicles comes up behind you and it’s fairly easy to get out the way. However, how would you move if you were stuck at a red light? This was the decision that had to be made by Philip Lilley while he was waiting at a red light.
The two vehicles in front on Mr Lilley, one to his left and one directly ahead, had already moved into the junction to allow extra room. Now the decision was down to Mr Lilley, either choose to move over the white line into the junction, or just sit there and block the emergency vehicle’s path.
With only a short amount of time to make his decision, he moved out slightly over the white line. However, even though he did that to help the emergency vehicle pass, he has stilled been fined and given 3 points on his licence for jumping the lights. It could be questioned whether he really did ‘jump the lights’ because as he was only around a yard over the line and he had no intention of actually breaking the law.
The Driving Standards Agency said that rule 219 of the Highway Code is ‘motorists should consider oncoming emergency vehicles but still comply with traffic signs’. However, I have the same opinion as Mr Lilley. If motorists are going to be worried about getting points on their licence, they may not move out of the way for emergency vehicles, this may result in more lives being lost.
So would you receive a fine for ‘jumping the lights’ if it meant an emergency vehicle could get past? Mr Lilley would have done in the past, now he has to consider it.
