Glossop SNT - Blue lights behind you and double solid white lines on the road.
 What’s the legal move?
Seeing an emergency vehicle in your rear-view mirror is high-pressure—especially on a road with double solid white lines where overtaking is prohibited.
Many drivers instinctively pull over or cross the lines to let them pass, but doing so could put you or others at risk—and break the law.
🚔 Key safety tips from our latest video:
🛑 Keep going safely: Maintain a steady pace up to the speed limit until the double white lines end or a safe pull-in area appears. 🛑 Don't stop blindly in the lane: Stopping dead in the road blocks the emergency vehicle from making progress. 🛑 Understand siren changes: Learn how emergency drivers alter siren tones or turn them off to signal their intentions or alert other traffic.
