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

Guys - many thanks for voting, and apologies for having to register.

In terms of qualifications/training:

All riders who do not hold an 'advanced' qualification (e.g. IAM/ROSPA) are required to be assessed to ensure that they are competent and will not put lives at risk.

Whilst our current bike is liveried with blues (not sure about twos though) we are still 'officially' required to stick to speed limits and all traffic regs, including red lights etc. We are also required to follow 'official' routes between hospitals/drop-offs etc so that we can be easily found/traced in the event of an incident (e.g. breakdown etc)

This is more about saving the hospitals money, rather than getting blood/milk etc as quickly as possible from one place to another, however that side of it does have a certain appeal

Edit - just found a picture of our bike:-
