Do you know how to give way in an emergency? 🚨

The Team from New Zealand Police

We’re here to remind you about what to do when you see, or hear, an emergency services vehicle responding under lights and sirens. When seconds count, it can save lives.

We’ve had recent examples where drivers completely ignore the Police vehicle behind them. Other drivers slow right down without safely pulling over, and delay Police from responding to emergency situations. Please help us by allowing our team to get to those in need, so we can save lives.

Top tips when an emergency services vehicle approaches with lights and sirens:
🚑 You are required by law to pull to the side of the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
🚔 If the lights and siren of the Police vehicle continue past you, you can resume your journey.
🚒 Make sure you check the road is clear before moving on.

Mobility Parks

Max & Lizzie from Kairanga

I am not only wondering about our Town Planner and their use of common sense, but our Parking Team. If any of you have been to City Doctors on Victoria, in a Mobility Van, can you tell me how you are supposed to safely get your passengers out of the van, into oncoming traffic. The park provided is … View moreI am not only wondering about our Town Planner and their use of common sense, but our Parking Team. If any of you have been to City Doctors on Victoria, in a Mobility Van, can you tell me how you are supposed to safely get your passengers out of the van, into oncoming traffic. The park provided is so unsuitable for the purpose it is designed and URGENTLY needs sorting. It has now become a revenue item for Parking enforcement as drivers can either risk their passengers or pull forward onto the footpath to enable them to safely disembark their passengers. This is so irresponsible of Parking Department and of City Doctors for not insisting on safe parking for their patients. Please feel free to email the Council Parking Department on behalf of our disabled community. Stuff perhaps you could help, would be nice if this could be sorted before someone is hit!
