Anyone on blues uses the other side of the road, or wherever they please to go past you, there are no niceties about it, they just aim to get to the destination regardless.
Even the bus lanes are stupid guided bus jobs meaning there's a kerb preventing people (or the emergency vehicle) getting into it.

If it were inevitable that I was going to receive a fine then they can wait.Surely they wouldn't want you to cross a red light if it's illegal.
I have done and would still do in both car and on bike using cautiously and safely. any camera's would pick up the emergency vehicle crossing as well so I'd have my reason to appeal any fine
having said that I was taught to leave enough space in front to be able to manoeuvre around the car in front in. still drive like that , we called it Northern Ireland Driving technique!! lol
You know they could be responding to medical emergencies right? Someone living or dying could depend on them getting there in time. If it was you or one of your family members having a heart attack or a stroke or choking to death or bleeding to death would you want people to move out of the way or just sit there blocking help? Move out of the way

Move out of the wayThen they should alter the law so that there's no chance of people receiving a fine for doing the right thing.If my reward for doing a good turn is a fine and/or points, I ain't shifting I'm afraid.
They should alter the law but that doesn't make sitting there right. Hopefully your decision doesn't cost someone their life. If you got pictured going through a red for moving there would most likely be a picture of the ambulance going through the same red a few moments later so it wouldn't take the world's greatest lawyer to appeal the ticket[/quotSitting there is right in the eyes of the law though. They clearly haven't been swayed enough by the morality of the issue to alter it have they. I wish they had.You can only speculate on the nature of the emergency they are travelling to.I'd be gutted if I found out later on that they'd gone to the aid of a burgler, or such like, stuck on the remains of someone's window he's just smashed and I'd copped a fine for that trash. I'd definitely want a refund then.

Only then did the "highly trained" drivers behind seem to grasp the reason for my actions and drove around me, which they could easily have done earlier.

Well if you were in trouble YamFazFan I'd move out of the way and take the ticket and let help get to you. Hopefully you'd do the same for me or anyone else. It's as simple as that.

It's as simple as that.Hey Dudeness we are talking about YamFazFan here, if he was in trouble the majority in here would reverse back up and try and run over him again, it's only fair.
God son failed his 1st driving test crossing the white line at a red light moving for a popo car.Examiner said it was bad luck and common sense to move but also against the law.
