I think you are narrow mined to one force, that's even if you are what you claim. That driver policy refers to police officers and not police staff

So what's your expertise? Where do you get your info from? Do you have any evidence to what you say is true?

No they don't. Drivers with basic authorities are not allowed to use blues and twos. Simple. End of story.

Jeeze this is like the episode of Father Ted where he's trying to explain to Dougal why cows which are far away look small!

He sounds like someone was told something by a mate down the pub, and has taken it as gospel. :rotfl:

Can you show us where the requirement is to move over for a police vehicle on blue lights and where it says you don't when a basic decides to use them when they shouldn't?

A basic driver wouldn't be driving on the blues.

What I am doesn't really come into this. I haven't actually said who I work for, and I'm not going to. I just said that I am blue light trained. It's the fact that I know the law on this, and you don't.

Non blue light trained officers are not allowed to drive on blue lights, and are not exempt any laws under the RTA.

Can you back that up?

There is no requirement to move over, unless instructed to do so. No-one has said otherwise. You're either being very obtuse or clearly not understanding what's being written

...Or simply trolling.

I know which one I think is true.

Are you fresh out of the box, it happens.

I don't need to. Nobody who isn't blue light trained is allowed to drive on blues.

Can you back up your claim to the contrary??

If you think that 20 years out of the box is fresh, then yes.

What experience do you have?

http://www.devon-cornwall.police.uk/YourRightInformation/FreedomInformation/Policies/D227.pdf section 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 I know this is a Devon and Cornwall document but the principle applies UK wide.
