If a fire vehicle or ambulance is in any lane ahead of you responding to a call, how far is it illegal to follow them?

When following a fire vehicle or ambulance that is responding to a call, it is essential to maintain a safe distance to ensure the safety of all road users and allow emergency responders to navigate through traffic effectively. The correct distance of 150 meters provides a buffer that helps prevent collisions and allows the emergency vehicle to operate without impediment. This distance is established in regulations to promote public safety and ensure that emergency services can reach their destination as quickly as possible. Keeping this distance also gives you enough time to react to any sudden stops or changes in direction from the emergency vehicle, minimizing the risk of accidents.

The other distances provided may not adequately ensure safety in emergencies, which is why the law specifies 150 meters as the appropriate distance to follow.
