ROAD SAFETY ROAD RULES 2009 (SR NO 94 OF 2009) - REG 79

Giving way to police and emergency vehicles

    (1)     A driver must give way to a police or emergency vehicle that is displaying a flashing blue or red light (whether or not it is also displaying other lights) or sounding an alarm.

Penalty:     5 penalty units.

Notes

1     Emergency vehicle and police vehicle are defined in the dictionary.

2     For this rule, "give way" means—

        (a)     if the driver is stopped—remain stationary until it is safe to proceed; or

        (b)     in any other case—slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision—see the definition in the dictionary.

    (2)         This rule applies to the driver despite any other rule of these Rules that would otherwise require the driver of a police or emergency vehicle to give way to the driver.
