Walk It Through: The Ambulance In Town

A siren behind on a city street, a pedestrian between two lights, and a cyclist swinging around a pothole.

On a downtown street, an ambulance with lights and siren comes up from behind just before an intersection.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

One drive across town. A collision with the pedestrian, a cyclist hit by a door, an ambulance crash and a police escort are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
