On the way

On my way to fetch my brother from college today, i was so boring so i have to tune different radio station and have it opened loud. There was a sudden that i heard some kind of siren, but it was just for a second. I looked at the rear mirror, no sign of ambulance or fire engine. So i thought i misheard it.

I was waiting at the traffic light when one police motorcycle passed by my car and asked us to move and ignore the red light that we were waiting. So, i drove, with lots of confusion. Then i saw more police motorcycles with siren were speeding from behind, and behind them there was a black local car, Proton Perdana. Now only i figured that the police were actually controlling the traffic to ensure whoever in side that vehicle had a smooth ride with no traffic disturbance. Something must be mentioned, i had to drive aside on the very narrow road with lots of car parked at the side just to given them through.

I wasn't sure that whether it was an necessary act or not. I am confused and totally cannot understand why we, as the road users, have to give way to them. It wasn't emergency at all. If it was emergency like ambulance or fire engine rushing to the scene then i can understand. But in this case, it was totally different.

Guess no one can actually answer whether or not we give way when it was not emergency.
