Sorry it really depends on the situation, road conditions, etc. Ambulances responding to a call is different than transport to a hospital. And many times the paramedics are treating a patient in the back so it doesn't make sense to drive fast if the injuries are treatable or non-life threatening. Firefighters and cops are typically first responders in accidents and incidents and many times they do need to travel faster than speed limit.
- nomel 3y agoI think it's silly to assume that emergency vehicles would be included.
- lamontcg 3y agoLiterally called out in the article that they'd be exempt.
- Volundr 3y agoTo be fair, at least I was paywalled from reading the article, so it's highly likely many are stuck working on the headline alone.

- acdha 3y agoI doubt this law won’t have an exception for emergency response, but my point was that even people with the legal right to speed, solid need, and safety equipment usually don’t end up going that fast because it’s unsafe or impossible due to traffic. Every so often there’s someone racing down a desert highway but even then they aren't going to want to lose it on a curve.
