Priority to Emergency Vehicles: All You Need to Know

The Police remind drivers of their obligation to give priority to emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, police cars and fire engines. Non-compliance carries a fine of up to €3,000 or imprisonment. The Police report that non-compliance is often observed at traffic light-controlled intersections due to fear of a violation being recorded. However, the Police assure that any violations resulting from giving priority to emergency vehicles will be deleted. The criticality of time in emergency situations and the risk of road collisions that could endanger lives are emphasized.
