Law on Police cars speeding and DWDC etc.

That's one way to resurrect a thread Matt, take you a while to think up did it?

Still, funny though

cant be bothered to read all of this thread, but my understanding is that police cars must use lights when speeding to a code 1 (read emergency) call. they must also be trained to do so.

yes traffic are alot better, standard coppers often take a few too many risks imo

when i am out as a special i have not yet seen a copper i am with take a dangerous/uneccesary risk,

sometimes the copper is not code 1 trained, they may still speed a bit at their own risk, please remember they often do it to protect me and you, the public from the many risks/dangers out there.

if they were to get flashed by a camera they would get fined and they would get a disciplinary no doubt. All tickets go to the chief constable i believe and they must all have a log for which they correspond. It is also noted on these logs when the car goes theough a camera so if the ticket comes it can be cross referenced. Npot always as some may be missed.

some peoples / emergency services behaviour on the road is wrong (that copper doing 80 in a 30 no lights etc) and should be heavily punished.

Please remember that these people risk their health, often daily to (americanism but correct) protect and serve the public...cut them a bit of slack in the execution of their duties.

thankyou.

Why are you a special, could you not pass the spelling test?
