Too many drivers are not coming to a full stop when they see an emergency vehicle approaching from behind. If you are stopped at an intersection, please do not go through the red light. Move to the right or make a right turn if safe to clear the path for the emergency vehicle. As per Use of Highway and Rules of the Road Regulation, Section 65(1): Fail to yield right of way for emergency vehicle, pull motor vehicle over to the right side and stop or remain stopped until emergency vehicle has passed. It is a $243 fine if you do not pull over and stop.
