Lesser-known driving law could see you fined £1k for letting an ambulance pass

People taking to the roads by car could face a hefty fine depending on what they do when faced with being in the way of an emergency vehicle.

Drivers could be fined as much as £1,000 if they break the Highway Code to let an ambulance pass, with the Code stating that those driving the car should give way to emergency service vehicles using flashing lights, including ambulances, fire engines and police vehicles.

However you will have to be careful what you're doing if you need to move out of the way whilst driving.
