Dolliver Royal Jug City -- ONTARIO LAND SURVEYOR ee Use your mirrors On Tuesday morning, April 20/99, | was on my way to Acton to begin my daily duties. | was in a fully marked police vehicle with full light package and sirens. I re- ceived an emergency call which requests officers to at- tend as soon as possible. My reaction to this is to switch on my emergency lights and my siren, then to drive with extra care but to make my way to the location of the emer- gency as quickly as traffic permits. In this case, as in many other cases, the vehicles ap- proaching and the vehicles in front of an emergency ve- hicle are required by law to pull over to the right and stop to allow me to pass. This does not always happen. In fact, I travelled a distance of three kilometres and only one vehicle in front of me pulled to the right. The rest maintained their place on the road forcing me to pass them on the left when other vehicles approaching did pull to the right. I realize that it is much easier for approaching vehi- cles to see'me than people with their backs to me, but i do they think mirrors are for? USE YOUR MIR- Legal & Topographic Surveys 54 Mill St. E.
