It's not unusual to be driving along when you're suddenly confronted with the sight or sound of an emergency vehicle behind you or coming towards you - blue lights flashing, siren blaring. So what do you do? Your first instinct will be to try to get out of the way as quickly as possible in order to let the vehicle pass, and this is what most of us would do, but is it the right thing to do? The Highway Code indicates that you should look and listen for ambulances, fire engines, police cars and any other emergency vehicles, whenever you are on the road. The important thing to remember at this point is not to panic. Above all, remember that you are responsible for your own actions on the road, regardless of the presence of an emergency vehicle, so you should move out of the way when it is safe and appropriate for you to do so without contravening road laws, or endangering yourself or anyone else in the area. The following is advice for anyone who feels vulnerable were they are asked to stop. In many cases there may be several of you in the vehicle or you are confident you can deal with the situation, in which case this advice may not be for you. An unmarked police car can stop vehicles, but it must contain a constable who MUST be in uniform in order to carry out the stop. If a car flashing for you to pull over or stop is unmarked, unless you are 100% certain it is the police, do not stop. Drive steadily to the nearest public place example a petrol station where they are open till late, a police station or somewhere there are a lot of people
