Fund a national awareness campaign for drivers about emergency vehicle safety

What the petition asks

Fund a national awareness campaign in the form of adverts on how to respond to an approaching emergency vehicle.
We believe there has been a clear deterioration in the overall standard of driving when appropriately responding to an approaching emergency vehicle. Many drivers seem to not understand the need to pull over to the left to allow emergency vehicles to safely pass, or that stopping on blind bends or continuing to drive but slowing slightly is both dangerous and unhelpful. We feel the only way to improve this is through widespread education for new drivers and those already on our roads.
