Every year, many police cars, ambulances, fire engines and other emergency vehicles are involved in accidents, even when they have their special horns and blue rotating lights on. For those emergency vehicles it is necessary that they arrive at their destination as quickly and as safely as possible. Therefore legal measures for the use of their special horn and rotating lights were introduced. But it is shown that these measures can not guarantee a safe passage, in particular in the present high traffic concentration. Accidents in the Netherlands, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Sweden in which these emergency vehicles were involved have been analyzed. Measures that can be taken to improve the road safety of these vehicles are: driver training, legal signalization, periodic vehicle inspection, publicity to other road users, and traffic signalization.
