You suddenly hear the ambulance siren wailing behind you! How many of you believe in leaving a space for the vehicle? Well, very few people can actually sense and judge or least concern when there is a danger or an emergency around.<\/p>\n<p>Your actions will certainly influence the life in the Ambulance. Ambulance! Is an emergency vehicle. Safe and responsible driving will save a life and hence a family. Giving away can help the patient receive the definitive treatment within the golden hour, and you might give a new lease of life to someone! Precious period with prompt medical treatment could mean the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Saving time means Saving a life,&#8221; it is the fact that everyone should know. No laws of order can bring the change unless we embrace it.<\/p>\n<p>Personnel in the emergency services risks their lives daily to help us in our time of need. Emergency vehicles need to travel at high speed to reach those in the medical response. Road users through unsafe driving can stand a way of life or death situation. The biggest threat is when the driver panics upon hearing the sound of a siren. Many are confused about what to do and either come by making a dangerous move or stop abruptly at the wrong place. These issues impact the operations of emergency services, and the most significant encounter they face is the ignorance of Road users.<\/p>\n<p>In this section, Sharp Drives would like to share do&#8217;s and don\u2019ts on safe driving in an emergency and as well as advice from experts on how to respond when you hear the siren of an emergency vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Do&#8217;s: \u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Move over law: Proceed with caution and yield the right way by moving a lane over\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 from the emergency vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Slow down and promptly come to a *full and complete STOP* where it is safe.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Allow the emergency vehicles to pass.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Anticipate other emergency vehicles as there may be one or more.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Always keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel as you approach and pass by the scene of an emergency.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Be prepared to expect emergency personnel on or near the roadway directing traffic.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Drive distraction-free and defensively at all times. Be sure always to buckle your seat belts and leave your phone alone!<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Leave enough space and carefully return to driving and remain vigilant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><b>Don\u2019ts: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Avoid abrupt manoeuvres, do not rush behind the Ambulance.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Follow no closer than 300 feet behind the Ambulance.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Do not pull over immediately.

Observing a few traffic rules can save your life. Today, let us pledge to be responsible and not harp on excuses but find a solution to the problem. It is an offense not to give way to an emergency vehicle and breaking the rule can lead to heavier fines. All we need is to exercise our common sense and act responsibly when we hear the siren or see an emergency vehicle approaching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image credit : IndianExpress \u201cThe day we learn to allow an ambulance to pass through in the traffic, might be the first step towards being a truly responsible society.\u201d \u2013 Boman Irani.
