“We have joined forces with Metro Police to stamp this illegal behaviour out. We’ve definitely seen a spike in the number of motorists using the emergency lane. It really is quite shocking and alarming that people can make such erratic and reckless decisions that put other people’s lives in danger because they don’t want to be inconvenienced,” Deokaran said.
