Item in the news about the police car with sirens and lights that hit a pedestrian with fatal results, the driver allegedly bringing a takeaway back to the station or somewhere.

Of course I would never dream of predicting the outcome of the enquiry.

But I was involved with a near miss with a T5 going flat out, that later stopped at a tesco metro for some sarnies. The result of my complaint - exoneration - was very flimsy indeed to say the least.

Having returned from France where we saw a number of emergency vehicles flying through towns at a fair rate of knots... the difference was that the sirens pierced the air and could clearly be heard over the top of the traffic that was in the town (Nimes) or could easily be heard in the car with the windows up

I've often by travelling to a job at speed, got cancelled and then decided to have my sarnies at the services.

There's a hundred and one reasons why. We're not robots!
