🚨 Tips for driving when emergency vehicles are nearby or approaching:

🚒 if you're driving in front of an emergency vehicle, keep a safe distance and don't brake suddenly. Be prepared that they may activate lights and sirens suddenly

🚒 if an emergency vehicle does approach behind you on blue lights, if safe to do so, slow down and move to the left to allow them to pass safely

🚒 if you're in a queue of traffic, try not to block the road or obstruct emergency vehicles
