MUJI 2d CV620

Emergency vehicle drivers.

activein force · 2026-08-21 – presentas-observed

You must decide whether [name of emergency vehicle driver] acted reasonably.

The law allows the driver of an emergency vehicle to disregard certain duties if each of the following is true:

(1) if the driver of an emergency vehicle sounds an audible signal or uses emergency lights which are visible from the front of the emergency vehicle, and

(2) the driver was

[(a) responding to, but not returning from, an emergency call.]

[(b) in pursuit of an actual or suspected violator of the law.]

[(c) responding to, but not returning from, a fire alarm.]

If you decide that both of these conditions are true, then [name of emergency vehicle driver] may

[(1) park or stand in the roadway.]

[(2) drive through a stop signal or stop sign, slowing down as needed for safety.]

[(3) exceed the posted speed limit.]

[(4) disregard the duties concerning direction of travel, lane change, or turning.]

[(5) describe any other applicable duty.]

The right to disregard this duty, however, does not relieve [name of emergency vehicle driver] of the duty to operate the emergency vehicle with reasonable care, considering the emergency situation and all other circumstances.
