Couple questions. Are volunteer firefighters allowed to break the speed limit when they are on call to the station in their own personal vehicle?
And when they have their red and white lights flashing (wherever they may be placed) is it other motorists responsibility to pull over?
I have a feeling I know the answer to these questions but I want to make sure before I go forth in a dispute. Simply put, I was nearly run off the road by a volunteer firefighter this weekend, he was doing in excess of 50 mph in a 25. When he got behind me I was on a 2 lane road with sidewalks on both sides. He had his red and whites on and was flashing his headlights as soon as he got behind me (I admit even I was doing at least 10 over the speed limit when he caught up to me.) He then swerved over the double yellow line and sped past me as we were approaching a blind hill/turn. I did not call the police, I was not sure who was in the right. But now I have come to be in a feud with this person as he has sought out my vehicle and now is threatening to do physical harm to me and my belongings. I know this alone makes him in the wrong, I'm merely looking for more ammo before I start a war. Non physical type of course.
