effectiveness and minimum disturbance. Subject to the regulations and any guidance
from the respective services, drivers of emergency vehicles are expected to use their
professional judgment to decide when and where the use of sirens is appropriate.</p><p>Drivers
ought to be fully aware that sirens must be used with restraint, particularly at night,
so as not to cause a nuisance to residents or other road users. There will, however,
always be occasions when it is necessary for the emergency services to use sirens
in the interests of road safety and the protection of the public.</p>
