Duncan Wood remarked:
The emergency vehicle will be following you through, actually.


Well normally you'd pull over to let it past, isn't that the point of
pulling forward?


You pull forward through the lights, then to one side. The emergency
vehicle then follows you through.

What happens next is the interesting bit. Do you stop in the middle of
the x-roads, perhaps sat on a yellow box, with traffic attacking you
from both sides, or make a gracious exit?

The latter will usually be safer, but does the law recognise that - from
your other remarks you clearly think the law would prefer you to do the
safer thing, even if it's ostensibly prohibited.
