Avoid Hefty Fines: Highway Code Rules for Emergency Vehicles

0:00What's up, Leicester? This is Leicester News today, bringing you the city's fastest updates on what is happening now. Drivers often think they can ignore traffic rules when pulling over for emergency vehicles like ambulances or fire engines. But the highway code says you still have to follow the law or face big fines and penalty points on your license. For example, straying into a bus lane or running a red light while making way could cost you hundreds of pounds. The same goes for yellow box junctions and red light violations at three points to your driving record. The code advises looking and listening for flashing lights and sirens, then stopping safely before a hill crest. Never drive on the pavement, risk others, or break heart suddenly. Beyond emergencies, misusing your horn draws a 30 pound fine since it distracts drivers. Failing to clear snow and ice from windows, lights and plates brings a 60 pound penalty. In London, parking on the pavement means a 70 pound charge while night parking against traffic flow outside marked bays could hit 1,000 pounds.
