ENERGENCY VEHICLES NEED CLEAR WAY
Motorists are reminded that they should give way to emergency
vehicles so these can get to their destinations as quickly as possible.
"Delay in getting to the scene of a fire, serious accident,
or crime can result in unnecessary loss of life and property," a spokesman
for the Transport Department said today.
Drivers must draw to the side of the road, and if necessary stop
their cars, on hearing the sound of a gong, bell or siren indicating the
approach of an emergency vehicle.
"By co-operating in this way, they can enable fire engines,
ambulances and police vehicles to get through quickly," he added.
