California Civil Jury Instruction CACI 730

730. Emergency Vehicle Exemption (Veh. Code, § 21055)

[Name of defendant] claims that [name of public employee] was not

required to comply with Vehicle Code section [insert section

number] because [he/she] was operating an authorized emergency

vehicle and was responding to an emergency at the time of the

accident.

To establish that [name of public employee] was not required to

comply with section [insert section number], [name of defendant]

must prove all of the following:

1. That [name of public employee] was operating an authorized

emergency vehicle;

2. That [name of public employee] was responding to an

emergency situation at the time of the accident; and

3. That [name of public employee] sounded a siren when

reasonably necessary and displayed front red warning

lights.

If you decide that [name of defendant] proved all of these things,

then you cannot find it negligent for a violation of section [insert

section number]. However, even if you decide that [name of

defendant] proved all of these things, you may find it negligent if

[name of public employee] failed to operate [his/her] vehicle with

reasonable care, taking into account the emergency situation.
