The Emergency Vehicles Act went as follows:
Emergency Vehicles Act[]
I hereby propose that it become a criminal offence to obstruct an active emergency vehicle (defined as any ambulance, police car or fire engine with the siren on).
With this bill, it will also become compulsory for such vehicles to put on their sirens whenever responding to an emergency, and a criminal offence for the driver to activate the siren in any other situation.
It will also be a criminal offence for any other vehicle to use the same siren sound as used by the emergency services.
It is also against the law for any non-emergency vehicles to carry blue flashing lights on the top of the vehicle.
