A side issue here that is related.

When I learnt to drive my instuctor told me told me how to treat emergency vehicles.

On hearing the siren i use my mirrors to look for the lights, I then act accordingly I'll drive in a bus lane if required to allow them to pass, and if I make any lane change I'll indicate.

I've even flashed a fire engine to let him out of a junction even though I have right of way. On roundabouts I have pulled into the middle and stop before the junction to allow them on.

I have even been flashed by another driver who allowed me to turn right in front of him (going through a red light) to allow a fire engine access.

Simple tricks that some people don't do.
