🚨 Important reminder for all drivers – especially learner drivers! 🚨
Knowing how to respond to 🚔🚑 emergency vehicles can literally help save lives.
Whether you're on your learner, restricted or a fully licensed driver, it's your legal and moral responsibility to pull over safely and let emergency services through.
Thanks to New Zealand Police for this clear message.
We cover this topic in our driving lessons at Miles2go Driving School NZ to help build confident & responsible drivers. 💙 Book your lesson today @ www.miles2godriving.co.nz
Do you know how to give way in an emergency? 🚨
We’re here to remind you about what to do when you see, or hear, an emergency services vehicle responding under lights and sirens.
When seconds count, it can save lives.
We’ve had recent examples where drivers completely ignore the Police vehicle behind them. Other drivers slow right down without safely pulling over, and delay Police from responding to emergency situations.
Please help us by allowing our team to get to those in need, so we can save lives.
Top tips when an emergency services vehicle approaches with lights and sirens:
🚑 You are required by law to pull to the side of the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
🚔 If the lights and siren of the Police vehicle continue past you, you can resume your journey.
🚒 Make sure you check the road is clear before moving on.
