Mike Dekker has driven ambulances in the Eindhoven region for 18 years and described the risks and rules involved in emergency driving. During training, ambulance drivers practise emergency braking and evasive manoeuvres, while the T.O.N. method teaches them to drive early toward the roadside and remain as far left as possible so other motorists have time to make room.

With lights and sirens, an ambulance may drive up to 40 kilometres per hour, while crossing a red light is limited to 20 kilometres per hour. Dekker said motorists should keep their speed and move aside safely when possible, rather than braking or driving onto the verge. He also described a crash involving his ambulance and said road users who ignore red crosses at an accident scene endanger emergency workers. He places the ambulance roughly 100 metres before an incident as a buffer until the police or Rijkswaterstaat takes over traffic protection.
