**BREAKING NEWS**
@HighwaysEngland
have been working closely with local Police Forces and a BRAND NEW motorway lane has been added to ALL motorways up and down the Country. It’ll cost the taxpayer nothing. It’s free. No roadworks needed. Let me introduce: LANE 1.

You can act *before* you see the lights of an emergency vehicle. Good awareness means you'll hear the sirens first. I saw the bus stopping and realised if I continued it would impede the emergency vehicle coming towards me. Much to the annoyance of the driver behind 🤦🏻♂️🚑

“You knew what you were signing up for” isn’t an acceptable response. Nothing can prepare you for some of the things you’ll see working for an emergency service. Nothing. We’ll see things in a week that most wont see in a lifetime. We remember them forever

When you brake check another motorist, almost causing a collision, it's best to check that there isn't a Chief Officer in an unmarked car on his way to a meeting in the vicinity. Rider stopped, educated and dealt with. Other motorist very happy to see an unmarked car appear! 🚔🏍️
