"Letting an emergency vehicle through" is not a valid defence to a charge of jumping a red light when driving.

Is this fair? What should a motorist do if he has to choose between jumping a red light and not getting out of the way of an emergency vehicle? There is not always anything that the motorist can do in the first place to prevent the situation from arising.
