That is very embarrassing and good.

 

Ahh.. that answers a daft question that I had.

Gatso's don't distinguish, so the one just down the road in a 30 limit that
didn't go off when an ambulance went past doing 70 is probably knackered.
Good.

Anyone care to test it for me?

The Welsh mafia have decided to buck for full independance. Good idea....and
lets start building the wall now.

 

{Arrive Alive spokeswoman Beth Mitcheson said: "We are often asked if
it is one rule for us and another rule for everyone else.

"These figures prove that isn't the case. The cameras do not
discriminate between vehicles.

"We have all got to look at the way we drive. Nobody is above the
law."}

Such nauseating self-righteousness deserves a round of applause.

I would have thought that they still get flashed, but they just explain that
it was an emergency at the time. If the camera you mentioned didn't go off
for an ambulance, just ignore, it, it shouldn't flash you either.

 

Never had understood why it's ok to drive "dangerously" if it's an
emergency, or indeed quite how the police never seem to have a hint of irony
when they say "We've been following you at 120mph for 2 miles, you dangerous
git"...

IIRC we had a thread about fire engines and speed limits in Birmingham
recently.
