Emergency vehicles

You must allow an emergency vehicle, such as police, fire or ambulance, with its blue or red lights flashing and/or sounding a siren, to pass you easily. When an emergency vehicle is approaching: • Give way by moving as far to the left side of the road as you can. • If you are unable to move left, slow down, indicate left and allow the emergency vehicle to drive around you. • If you occupy the left lane, allow other vehicles from the lane to your right to move into your lane, if required.

Do not break the law

The SLOMO law (Slow Down, Move Over) requires that you must slow down to 40km/h when you approach stationary emergency or incident response vehicles that display flashing lights at an incident.
