In addition, you must observe the following:(a)Stay calm and check the direction of the oncoming emergency vehicle.(b)Give way by signalling early and filter towards the left if it is safe to do so. Do not wait until the last minute to do so.(c)If you are unable to filter to the left safely, slow down to let the emergency vehicle overtake you.(d)Do not speed up to block an overtaking emergency vehicle or try to overtake or tailgate an emergency vehicle as this can put yourself and other road users in danger.(e)Do not break the law to give way to an emergency vehicle (e.g. by driving through a red light).108. Drivers must not be distracted while driving. Do not use any mobile communication device or turn your head to talk with your passengers while driving. Children and pets must not be allowed to obstruct or distract the driver.109. Reduce your speed when driving past animals, and give them plenty of room. Stop if necessary or if signalled to do so.110. Always slow down when approaching any traffic lights and be prepared to stop when the traffic light turns amber or red.”.
