When does an emergency-service vehicle have junction priority by virtue of its emergency-vehicle status?

Correct answer

On urgent duty with the required signals and obeying officer instructions.

When on urgent duty and giving the required signals. Normally it uses light and sound signals; light alone is allowed if omitting the sound creates no danger for others. Officer instructions must always be obeyed. Before exercising priority at a junction, its driver must take particular precautions and check that there is no risk and others are giving way.
