You're reading the vehicle code wrong. 21055 says...commencing with all the sections you listed. That means that is the first section of each respective chapter listed in Division 11 of the vehicle code. 21055 includes all sections in each chapter. The easy way to look at it is......21055 exempts from all of Division 11 (Rules of the Road) of the Vehicle Code. Also don't confuse the definition of a highway (defined in section 360) with the definition of a freeway (section 332).Cowboys in town. Trouble expected.

I agree, I have a feeling the poster is trolling around.

Originally posted by chris91604Ohhhhhh yeaaaah, you're absolutely right! I completely misread the statute by confusing the word "commencing" to mean "regarding". Okay, Sec 21055 is now starting to make a lot more sense. But when ambulances and fire trucks and CHP and private emergency vehicles and other Emergency Vehicles don't have their lights on, can they still speed if they need to get somewhere fast even if it's not an emergency? Or do their cars only become exempted from the law under the conditions of Sec 21055 (a) & (b)?Last edited by PTI; 07-24-2005, 01:26 AM.Cowboys in town. Trouble expected.

In MN uur law is clear emergency vehicles may speed with red lights and siren on, with the expection of police cars which do not need to have their emergency equipment on when responding to calls. However a red flashing light and siren must be on to go through a stop sign.Happy to be here proud to serve

Never trust fire fighters to point out a suspect.
