​​🔑 Core Principles

➤ Drive with due regard
  You're responsible for safety of others on the road. 

➤ Lights & sirens request right of way
  They don’t guarantee it. Never assume traffic will move.

➤ Control your adrenaline
   Stay calm, focused, and in control..

➤ Use sirens only when necessary
   Follow local laws and your agency’s policy. 

➤ Use the center lane
   On 3-lane roads, the center gives traffic room to move left or right.

➤ Keep a sterile cockpit
   No small talk. Stay focused. Passengers help watch, not distract.

➤ Drive predictably
   Sudden moves = danger. Be smooth and clear.

➤ Adjust for weather
   Rain, snow, fog? Slow down. Extend your stopping distance.

​

⚠️ Intersections = Danger Zones

➤ Slow down early
   Be ready to stop — even with lights and sirens.

➤ Clear one lane at a time
   Treat each lane like a separate hazard. Don’t rush through.

➤ Watch for pedestrians
   Especially at crosswalks. They may not see or hear you.

➤ Expect confusion
   People freeze, panic, or act weird. Be prepared.
