Failure to move for sirens

However, the things are a little different when it comes to accidents / collisions. There are plenty of scenarios where someone can act within the rules and yet collides with someone. I agree, the transition is somewhat fluent but that's just the nature of things. Also, causing an accident does not necessarily mean to be physically involved. It is quite possible that someone causes an accident, e.g. by ignoring the right of way, and causes two other cars to collide.

I haven't seen too many cases of fining for causing an accident when the car itself wasn't directly in contact with another car, but I get the point.

However, what I also do not understand is why cops can fine users for driving the wrong side when in the rules it clearly states '1.3. Drive on the correct side of the road'.

I just think the removal of this (failure to move for emergency vehicles) as a fine and the reason given above is inconsistent with some of the fines that do still exist.
