The holder of an emergency ambulance service operator's permit shall be permitted to operate his ambulances under emergency conditions at a speed of ten miles per hour in excess of the posted speed limit, so long as the operator does not endanger life or property. In addition, such permit holder shall also be permitted, under emergency conditions, to proceed through red lights and stop intersections, after slowing down as necessary for safe operation, if, in his opinion, such action will aid in the preservation of human life. The foregoing exemptions shall apply only when the ambulance is making use of the audible and visual signals required by state law.
