It’s a 50/50 situation to my mind. If it’s necessary for me to cross the line to allow an emergency vehicle to pass then so be it. It should be possible to move over slightly and safely without entering in to a junction proper. That said Busman in a crate the size of your it’s going to be difficult. Yesterday evening I had to pull over on Blackburn Road to let an Ambulance through I didn’t hesitate as soon as it was safe to do so; I pull up on the pavement to get out of its way. Other drives behind me pull into Junctions and one car pulled right into the opposite lane. The two vehicles in front floored it to get round the Antley roundabout before the Ambulance got to them. In respect of this chap who was fined, it’s a poor do when responsible drivers are penalised for doing what he believe to be the right thing in an emergency.
