Of course you can dismiss this in general and say: "the driver will know where to go" or "will use his own judgement", i.e. would not use OSM data at all, but this is not the reality, in reality, OSM is used more and more in emergency scenarios. There are companies dedicated to provide OSM-data-based infrastructure for use by emergency services. I have seen it. Cheers Martin
