{{NHS Road Incident Info Box}}

The '''NHS's''' '''Road Incident Responder Branch''' (more commonly known as '''RIR''') provides general safety and onsite practices for all emergency responders. Additionally, they provide maximum protection for all emergency responders operating at limited access highway incidents. They access highways with high vehicle speeds, in adverse weather conditions, helping heavy trucks, and reducing exposure to motorists with varying degrees of ability, with possible vision, alcohol, and drug impairments. All RIR members understand that the objective is to get onto the highway, perform their duties, help all the people on the island and get off the highway as quickly and efficiently as possible. This will reduce their high-risk exposure and help to get traffic patterns back to normal. RIR always operate within a protected environment at any type of incident on or near a highway.

With no lights and sirens, you must follow the usual speed limits - however, whilst responding to an incident with lights and sirens, you do not have to follow a speed limit however you must stay at a controllable speed, for example do not go at 300 km/h if you can only control a Hatchback Sport at 250 km/h.<br />

==Other Information==

Road Incident Responders also have access to the '''Yellow Hi-Vis Jacket''' which is worn by RIR Members when attending a scene, this is to ensure other road users can clearly see the Medics and ensure they don't become part of the incident.
