When an emergency vehicle comes up behind . . .


What is one supposed to do:

 

I'm stopped at the lights at a busy "T" intersection.

 

I'm hemmed in by concrete islands and another car (s) beside.

 

There's an emergency vehicle coming behind with lights and siren screaming.

 

I go forward and swing right to be in front of the car beside me.

 

The intersection is controlled with cameras.

 

The lights flash and I am pinged.

 

I get an infringement notice in the mail. (!!!!)

If it is urgent ambulance will go down wrong side of road.

Found this out personally,  arterial bleed in temple gets that priority.

With a bit of luck the emergency vehicle may be in the pics. I think they take three stills. If you do get a fine, write back and lodge an objection. Do you have a dashcam?

Maybe I should have stayed where I was and let the emergency wait.

The left turn lane had a couple of cars waiting to turn.

Yep I have dash cam - just shows me moving to the right. The wrong lane was busy with vehicles turning left.
Crossing the line line has triggered the camera. Only evidence I can plead is having no reason other than the sound
of siren and lights prompted the move, which actually is an illegality in itself when taken out of context.

You would think that the fools at the penalties office would see the circumstances. The pic clearly shows me partially side on to the 2nd lane.

I intend to sit on my hands and appear and take the opportunity to blast the issuing idiots.

Emergency vehicles have a green flashing light above their number plate, how this can help, fiik. But any way, just another useless piece of information.
