Would You Pull Into A Bus Lane To Allow An Emergency Vehicle (With Blue Lights/Siren On) To Pass?

This video shows a learner driver’s response under instruction from his/her instructor, including an informative ‘Blue light ware’ sub-video, that tells you what drivers should do in various scenarios when encountering emergency vehicles.

If there was a bus lane I'd expect the ambulance to use it

I would be happy to see a vehicle move out of my way into a bus lane when I was answering an emma call on the blues and twos.My only concern would be the driver put himself in danger and caused an accident. That would be classed as a vicinity only Polacc  and may count againstthe emergency driver, if say, a drver drove across a stop line and red traffic light in order to facilitate the emergency vehile albeit with the best intentions. When on the advanced ddriving course the mantra was' No emergency call will justify an accident'

No. People have been booked for driving in a bus lane and making room for an emergency vehicle is not considered to be a good enough reason. It should be made very clear to all drivers so that emergency vehicles can use a bus lane safely; unfortunately most drivers can't be bothered to keep up-to-date with new rules.

Yep. If there's a bus ahead blocking the bus lane why would you not do that.
