Description
Motor vehicle operating in emergency situations. Allows vehicles authorized by 46.2-1024 to be equipped with red or red and white warning lights (vehicles owned by members of fire departments, volunteer fire companies, or volunteer rescue squads; ambulance drivers employed by privately owned ambulance services; and police chaplains) to also be equipped with sirens, exhaust whistles, and air horns. The bill also allows these vehicles to ignore certain traffic laws in emergency situations, subject to the same limitations as police vehicles, ambulances, and fire apparatus. Read the Bill »
