The system in the UK seems to have mutated into just stop. Exactly where you are even if by doing so you cause grid lock and no one, least of all the ambulance can get through. Don't think, don't pull to the side, don't even look around to see where the siren is coming from, just stop dead as soon as you hear the sound.
I've seen ambulances with driver and para-medic both waving frantically at some fucktard who's stopped just in front of them - with miles of open road on front of his car - but the car has stopped EXACTLY on a pedestrian crossing so the bollards and street lights mean they can't drive around.
London has become even more tricky as pulling into a bus lane to let the cops past isn't an excuse - you still get the fine - so most smart Londoners now no longer pull over even if they could.
