Driving code on the freeway in San Diego.
so I have a quick question about the laws of driving code. I've been told that you aren't alowed to drive code on the freeway unless trafic is < 15mph, then you can use the shoulder and run code 3.
I read the vehical code though, on the CA DMV website and as confusing as it is , it doesn't say anything about restricting an emergency vehicle on the freeway. So does anyone have not only an answer, but a reference to a chp dmv or sd county ems publication that I can read?
I only ask because I had a call the other day with a woman that had a traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and was being Tx to a trauma center wich was a little over 30 miles away, (the closer one was on trauma bypass) and our CCT nurse told me she would like us to go code the whole way. Trafic was over 15 closer to 40 or so, but hitting the fast lane with the lights made the trip way quicker, so I did it.
Long story short I can't find any regulation about it being restricted in the vehicle code. So let me know if you know where it's not alowed. thanks guys.
