Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

When property or human life is in jeopardy, and the the prompt summoning of aid is essential to the preservation of human life or property, it justifies the operator of a vehicle to exercise driving privileges allowed to emergency vehicles.
