Emergency hospital dash in car - rules.
Helpful member
Interesting & important fact gleaned from Jim's Guide.
If you have to dash someone to hospital in your car, you should hang 2 white cloths from the windows. Or wave a white cloth if that's all you've got. Or hang/wave your high vis jacket from the window. This alerts other cars to your emergency situation. You can flash lights & sound horn. ......... BUT you are not entitled to speed; jump lights or break traffic law and other vehicles should give way and allow you priority on the road. Vehicles NOT giving way or obstructing can be subject to a heavy fine! (So be aware if you see any vehicle with cloths flapping out the windows - even if it is a football strip!)
The police may stop you but would probably give you escort/help in such an emergency.
We have now put 2 white cloths into car (donated from a white t-shirt I'm glad to see the back of - shhhh hubby doesn't know yet) to add to the other stuff you must carry in your vehicle.
