Will you get prosecuted for going through a ref light if you’re moving for an emergency vehicle?

I’m curious what people think.

No googling or checking the Highway Code

Yes. Only know this because it was in the local rag last year. Bloody unfair though.

Yes.

Yes you can , you should only move for emergency vehicles if its safe and legal to do so.

Yes you can, it happened to my dad. He moved a few feet through a red light (and didn't obstruct any traffic) so an ambulance could get through. He appealed the fine and it was denied even though it was all on camera. I think it's appalling. Someone could have potentially died if that ambulance had been stuck for ages at traffic lights.

According to one of those points avoidance courses DH did, yes you can.

Yes you can be.

Yes.

Will you or could you?

I'd guess the simple answer is that you could but that you wouldn't in every case. There aren't police at every red light so unless it's a camera one I'd say unlikely.

Yes. You could cause an accident going through a red light.

I think I read a news article where this had happened, so I would say yes.

I'd assumed that you'd be able to argue your case.
TiL.

Yes.
There was an article in my local paper about it. Someone was prosecuted for moving out of the way. They appealed and list. Apparently the advice is to stay put and the emergency vehicle driver will make the descion what to do.

Yes you can there was one recently where a police car had blues and twos and signalled for the car to pull forward and they got done

Yes. IIRC you can only go through a red light if directed to do so by a uniformed police officer.

Well I didn’t feel I had to say that in my op as I thought it would be extremely obvious.

But your question is unanswerable, you asked "will you get prosecuted" that's not a yes or no question, possible answer are maybe or it depends or who knows etc. What answer were you expecting?
