Addendum to Opinion No. 66-69
Contents of opinion
September 27, 1983
The above-captioned opinion concluded that a privately-owned vehicle, used in transporting emergency.equipment such as iron lungs, oxygen and other emergency equipment, responding to emergency calls by doctors is not an ambulance or other emergency vehicle within the meaning of Section 304.022, RSMo. Consequently, such a vehicle may not display a red light or use a siren on such a vehicle.
Nothing in this opinion should be read as prohibiting a privately-owned vehicle operated pursuant to Section 304.175, RSMo Stipp. 1982, from sounding a warning siren or displaying a blue light. See Opinion No. 12, Matthewson, 1983.
Very truly yours,
John C. Danforth
Attorney General
