Don't think so, They use the horn (which is not a regular car horn, more like a train horn) if someone wont move, but the sirens are pretty much off.
The way I think of it, my country is pretty much open spaces and lights can be seen from very far away, and durin night time roads are also mostly empty and even if the driver didnt saw the lights the ambulance can simply overtake him without any problems or slowdown
But if the need arises they'll turn the sirens on. The driving culture here is on the level of neandretals with bumper cars, not as bad as greece but baaaad. And cops will never give a ticket to an ambulance driver, even though silence during night is mandatory by law
