Following on from my initial post, is it a lawful excuse after running a red light and get fined by a speed camera with the associated loss of points and costs, to claim that you were morally correct in assisting an emergency vehicle by getting out of the way. What does the law say, does it support you? I bet it doesn't. Do drivers of emergency vehicles including the police expect you to break the law to get out of their way. I conclude that you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

It takes a strong will to sit at a red light with an ambulance or police car with its lights and sirens blazing right behind you or to decide to break the law and run the red light. I've never known what to do and suspect that 99% haven't a clue either.
