first taxi driver ive see that knows the highway code lol If you are waiting at an intersection and an ambulance or fire engine is behind you must not go through a red stop light. You may be fined for doing so because you put other road users in danger. The onus is on the emergency vehicle to find a way through.
What the fuck is an intersection? I have never seen that in the highway code!
The officer didn't look agitated...as if he knew the taxi driver was in the right. He knew his permission was required before the taxi would move out against the red light, he got out and gave it.
I don't know how this looks in Britain but in Poland it is completely normal to move on the red to let emergency vehicle drive
policeman at fault. needs sacking
grow up
no, he needs sacking
I. even sure the policeman called him something.
