我在15号的一次经历：
在有且只有3条道的地方，有一辆车坏在了中间，也就是lane 2,它后方有一辆警车停着，闪着警灯，在警车后面来的车是过还是不过呢？在到达那里之前，我根本不知道什么事情，按照你的说法，所有的车都得停下，lane1,lane2,lane3,因为必须空出一条道保证警察的安全，可是，我记得大家都这么过去了，我也一样，lane2 上的车都转向了lane1,lane3,只是速度减慢了，没有接到罚单。
你说的情况不矛盾，我说的是安省的路规，因为我常去多伦多，那里的人就给我发了这个电邮(如下)里面还有政府网站的联接，你就自己看吧。而且我的一个邻居去安省时就是这个原因得了罚单。
电邮内容:
Hi Friends,
I just had an experience which I hope you will not have to go
through yourselves...
I was driving on the 427 South at Burnamthorpe at broad
daylight at 2 p.m., when I came upon two police cruisers who had pulled
over a third vehicle. I slowed down to be cautious, and was surprised when the
second cruiser pulled out and pulled me over. Approaching on the passenger
side, the officer asked if I knew why I had been pulled over. I honestly
expressed that I had no idea.
He informed me that Ontario law now states that when approaching any emergency vehicle on the roadside with lights flashing, you must enter the left lane. He then proceeded to ticket me, taking three demerits and issuing a fine of , wait for it, . . $490! (Yes, I'm choking as I type that.) I realize I did not change lanes, but I do believe I was cautious.
My message is, be careful. He said that they are cracking down
hard on this because of injured officers. I did not realize this was the
law. Neither did any of my recently-licensed children. Or evidently not
the 47 drivers pulled over.

Highway Traffic Act amendment will protect police officers, firefighters and emergency personnel
TORONTO, April 3 /CNW/ - Bill 191, an amendment to the Highway TrafficAct, was proclaimed today, Bob Runciman, Minister of Public Safety andSecurity, announced. The legislation - Bill 191, Highway Traffic Act Amendment Act (EmergencyVehicle Safety), 2002 - will protect police officers, firefighters and otheremergency personnel whose vehicles are stopped on the shoulder of theprovince's roadways with red lights flashing. Motorists will have to slow downand, where possible and safe to do so, move to a lane not adjacent to the onein which the emergency vehicle is situated. "By forcing drivers to slow down and move over, we are protecting thosewho protect us," Runciman said. "We all benefit when these dedicated workersare able to do their job efficiently and without having to worry about theirpersonal safety. They understand what they do is dangerous, but there is noneed to subject them to additional risk." "This government is delivering on its commitment to give police officers,firefighters and paramedics the tools they need to do their vital jobs,"Transportation Minister Frank Klees said. "We continue to work to keep ourcommunities safe, with legislation that protects those who protect us." "The personal safety of our officers is at risk when dealing withroadside emergencies, issuing speeding tickets or providing assistance tomotorists," Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Gwen Boniface said. "Thisnew legislation will be instrumental in protecting Ontario Provincial Policeofficers and our roadside emergency partners as they endeavour to keep ourroadways safe for the motoring public." The legislation will apply to all stopped vehicles, excluding schoolbuses, with flashing red lights. Section 62 (15.1) of the Highway Traffic Actauthorizes ambulance, fire, police and public utility emergency vehicles andministries of transportation, natural resources and environment to use redlights. "Many motorists don't recognize the high risk front-line police officerscan face during routine traffic stops," Brian Adkin, president of the OntarioProvincial Police Association, said. "We don't necessarily think of pullingoff to the side of the highway to issue a speeding ticket or to investigate anaccident as a dangerous part of an officer's job. This legislation is criticalto our members' safety. It speaks to the commitment that the government hasfor front-line emergency personnel." Those convicted of disobeying the law can expect to be dealt withseverely. For the first offence, the fine will be not less than $400 and notmore than $2,000. For second and subsequent convictions, the fine is a minimumof $1,000 to a maximum of $4,000, six months in jail or both a fine and jailsentence. All convictions will result in the addition of three demerit pointsto a driver's record. The court can also suspend a motorist's driver's licencefor up to two years. "We have lost four officers in Ontario in recent years when they or theirvehicles have been stopped at the side of the road," Bruce Miller, theadministrator of the Police Association of Ontario (PAO), said. "This newlegislation will help to protect both front-line police officers and thecitizens they serve. We believe that it will go a long way to help preventfurther tragedies." The PAO represents 22,000 front-line police personnel. "Firefighters are frequently the first to arrive at the scene ofincidents on highways," Milt Wilson, president of the Ontario Association ofFire Chiefs, said. "This legislation will give our workers added protection,especially before police arrive to direct traffic. I am pleased the governmentis taking this step to protect firefighters and everyone else that responds toincidents on the highways." Saskatchewan is the only other Canadian province to have similarlegislation. A number of American states also have some type of emergencysafety vehicle legislation.

Emergency personnelstopped for an incident at the side of the road are sometimes in danger.Frequently, they are placed in close proximity to vehicles travelling atextremely high rates of speed. Since 1995, several members of the Ontario Provincial Police have beenkilled as a direct result of a motor vehicle collision when their cruiserswere parked on the shoulder of the road. In the United States, some 200 policeofficers have lost their lives in a similar fashion. A number of U.S. stateshave introduced legislation requiring drivers to change lanes and reduce speedwhen approaching an authorized vehicle. Saskatchewan also has enacted similarlegislation. The legislation, which received Royal Assent in December 2002 and wasproclaimed April 3, 2003, is designed to increase the safety of police andother emergency personnel and deter those driving recklessly. A number of U.S. states also have legislation in place requiring driversto yield the right of way to approaching emergency vehicles. Ontario's law: - Requires drivers to slow down, and proceed with caution when travelling on all highways in the same direction as a stopped emergency vehicle with its red lights flashing. If the highway has two or more lanes, the driver must move over into another lane if it can be done safely. - In all circumstances drivers must take into consideration traffic and weather conditions when taking the appropriate action when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with its red lights activated. - A person who contravenes these requirements will be guilty of an offence punishable, for a first offence, by a fine of $400 to $2,000 and for subsequent offences by a fine of $1,000 to $4,000, or to imprisonment for a maximum of six months, or to both a fine and imprisonment. All convictions will result in the addition of three demerit points to a driver's record. The court that convicts a person of an offence may also suspend his or her driver's licence for a maximum of two years.
