Canadian Law/new law

Question
I was just curoius, because there were people passing me in the right lane going over a hundred by a tow truck. It is not a homework question, and i do believe that thats good for you to notcgive away answers for school. However, this is not for homework and i amjust curious.
I understand that there is a new law saying that you need to slow down to 50km/h on the highway passing emergency vehicles. First of all i think it is a good law to have. What i was wondering is if your going in the opposite direction on opposite side, do you still have to slow down(on a two way highway)? Also if its a two or three lane highway, which lanes need to slow down, or do all of them?

Answer
Sir the rule is simple if a Red Lighted Emergency vehicle is approaching on any highway or road you much pull over and stop.A tow truck does not qualify as an emergency vehicle in Ontario
The exception is a Divided highway.
i hope I have answered your question.
