As a volunteer firefighter with the CFA, I have been on the back of a truck, lights and sirens, at night on the Hume, semi so close up our arrrs our driver couldn't stop at scene of car accident, had to reverse a kilometre back. Have also seen on more than one occasion colleagues have to jump out of way of cars and trucks even though witches hats and stop slow signs in use! On at least one of those there was heavy smoke blowing across the road. Have also heard many similar stories from other firefighters. Law wouldn't be required if drivers drove sensibly .
