Another point of discussion then. Say you are at some traffic lights, with a red light camera and an ambulance needs to be through. And for the purposes of our discussion you have 2 options only - move through to let the ambulance through and get flashed, or wait for the lights to turn green. What do you do?

You wait.

You should only proceed across a red light if instructed to by a Police Officer in uniform (or in a car!). Other emergency services vehicles should turn off their sirens and wait until the lights change.

If you cross the red light (or enter a bus lane or cycle lane during its hours of operation) you can be fined.

That was my thoughts, and that's what I told my wife last night. But when discussing it at work I was met with "you'd let someone die?" - my answer was "I didn't make the rules of the road, so, why should I pick up a fine and points because of that?"
