hows that work then? who own/maintains the bike?
Also doesnt it feel a little daft riding with blue lights going only to then stop at a red light, wont most motorists stop and wave you through unaware of the restictions on you?

I guess you'd only put the blues on if you needed to clear some rush hour traffic.

Hmm I'm not surprised TBH Its a shame it does take a lot of hours - we're busting guts doing really well and should be operational soon. fingers crossed.
THe best things is get likeminded individuals and talk to the actual groups They are better help than anything

Blues are only used in an emergency as deemed by the hospital/medical staff you are delivering for. Which accounts for very little of the work that any group do. Scot blood had 140 blue light jobs (within Greater Glasgow) last year out of 1000's

Good cause, but surely if you are to use blues you will need rider training ?

Re: 1 minute of your time could make a real difference
 

In Hampshire, blues & twos have to be be disconnected :-( , even then to ride the marked bike you must have been at least ROSPA or IAM trained, and then there is a further independent assessment of your riding.

General consensus is that blues and twos would not make that much of a difference, seeing as we currently only offer an 'out of hours' service - i.e. there would not normally be too much traffic about anyway...

Only 9 days left to vote and hopefully get us some 'free' money from NatWest - thank to all those that have done so already
