Rob,
While emergency vehicle drivers have the right-of-way at intersections, my
observation is that they compensate for the risk that the intersection is
not clear by slowing enough to try to avoid a collision. I have on more than
one occasion avoided an accident at an intersection where I had the
right-of-way by mimicking emergency vehicle drivers' practices. 'Requires,
however, being alert to following vehicles' rate-of-closure and start
slowing early enough to give them time to react...
