So, the maximum speed in a built up area for emergency vehicles should be 30mph or 20 is plenty, at times??
I hope the robbers/rapists/ murderers all realise that this is the case and play by the rules and stick to the speed limit to give our guys some help.
Blues and twos, lets alert the baddies that we are behind them at all times and they may cut their speed.
I have not tried to put a case for the driver, I have said do not put him in prison where he will be given a worse time than the said, robbers/rapists/ murderers!!
If you check Johnboys post, he said that they didn't have the blues and twos on, I was merely adding to that the speed that the driver was travelling at. The sirens and lights not only alert criminals but also innocent bystanders and road users that an emergency vehicle is approaching. Travel at speed by all means but public safety is paramount. The speed this driver was travelling at was in excess of any guidelines he will have been given and he has quite rightly had the book thrown at him.
Please send him to Gala Bingo hall with all the other Israelis murderers.
