I work in Humberside and we don't have the 20mph limit unless were in a van. As all the above say, if we have an accident doing a blue light run we're in the **** (or any accident for that matter). We still have to justify everything we do all the time. If you have an accident now matter how minor in our force you are banned from driving immediately until the road policing inspector has investigated the circumstances in full, meaning you can't drive for months!!!

As for speeding fines, if not on a blue light run for a genuine reason you pay your fine, take your points and get run by D&C.

I heard that one day 2 months ago that a Teacher took an extra 5 minutes lunch break and had to run down a corrider to teach a lesson!!!!

Imagine what the press would do with that class of information maybe they would run a feature!!!

-------------------------------

It sounded better than the rant I was going to post but I think most people on this forum can understand this a crap story with no more substance than to give the UK police another kicking by press.

But if we are driving normally to a job (ie not a blue light run) we are not allowed to break the speed limit and if we do we get the fine like anybody else.

Clearly the police do not get fined like anybody else. The statistics are irrefutable. 99.9% of police officers were let off!!!
