North Island Traffic Services is reminding drivers to slow down and move over when passing an emergency vehicle with its lights flashing.
Sergeant Craig Blanchard says police recently pulled over a vehicle after the driver failed to slow down and move over, then sideswiped the police vehicle.
Blanchard says the driver was issued a violation ticket for failing to slow down, and move over for a stopped emergency vehicle.
Blanchard says when a driver refuses to slow down and pull over, the violation carries a minimum fine of $175.
