10:20 More drivers ignoring flashing lights and sirens of emergency services

The police in Auckland are increasingly concerned about the number of drivers who are ignoring the flashing lights and sirens of emergency services.

Karyn asks Simon Douglas from New Zealand's Automobile Association if this is a national problem.
