response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure\nAccording to Article 101(1)\
  \ of the Road Traffic Rules Act (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia No\
  \ 82/13), escort vehicles, like priority vehicles, are motor vehicles on which special\
  \ light and sound signs are used to carry out certain urgent tasks. Furthermore,\
  \ Article 101 of this Law further specifies the meaning of special light and sound\
  \ signs and the obligations of other road users when using special light and sound\
  \ signs on vehicles which are allowed to use such signs. Only these vehicles may\
  \ also be fitted with them (third and fourth paragraphs of the Regulation on priority\
  \ and escort vehicles (Official Journal of the RS, No 48/11 and 69/13)).\nThe Law\
  \ on Road Traffic Rules does not provide for absolute priority of escort vehicles.\
  \ Article 101(3) provides that drivers of priority vehicles, escort vehicles and\
  \ accompanied vehicles are not obliged to obey traffic rules and traffic signals,\
  \ but must drive in such a manner and at such a speed that they are at all times\
  \ in control of the vehicle and do not endanger other road users or their property.\n\
