2005 Minnesota Statutes - 169.17 — Emergency vehicle.

     169.17 Emergency vehicle. 


    The speed limitations set forth in sections 169.14 to 
 169.17 do not apply to an authorized emergency vehicle 
 responding to an emergency call.  Drivers of all emergency 
 vehicles shall sound an audible signal by siren and display at 
 least one lighted red light to the front, except that law 
 enforcement vehicles shall sound an audible signal by siren or 
 display at least one lighted red light to the front.  This 
 provision does not relieve the driver of an authorized emergency 
 vehicle from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of 
 persons using the street, nor does it protect the driver of an 
 authorized emergency vehicle from the consequence of a reckless 
 disregard of the safety of others.
