Public awareness in these situations can dramatically improve response times so the sooner you spot an emergency vehicle, the more time you have to make way. ​What should you do when you see an emergency vehicle? Signal your intention to pull over and do so only in a spot that allows the emergency vehicle to pass safely. Remain in the pulled-over position until the emergency vehicle has passed, staying alert for any additional emergency vehicles. You should never:Tailgate or overtake an emergency vehicle or race after an emergency vehicle to get through a traffic light;Break a red light or speed to allow emergency vehicles to pass, unless directed by gardaí or emergency services personnel;Pass a moving emergency vehicle showing flashing lights.
