Default Caught Speeding Delivering Transplant Organs

esp as ambulance purposes do not require the use of an ambulance, something
which is forgotten by people who can't read legislation properly


Quite. Hell, the relevant legislation is in the uk.transport FAQ.


But you're such a ****ing idiot, you can't even post the correct link to
your own website in in your own sig.
How funny is that (*cough* retard *cough*).

Once you actually find it, the information in
http://www.axalotl.demon.co.uk/transport/FAQ.html is a poorly researched
(that's assuming it has even been researched at all beyond personal
opinions) blanket statement and - as such - not correct.

To quote this FAQ;

"No statutory provision imposing a speed limit ... shall apply
to any vehicle on an occasion when it is being used for fire
brigade, ambulance or police purposes".

This conflicts with the actual legislation in which an ambulance (of any
form whatsoever, official or unmarked) is *not* exempt from speed limits
whilst transporting organs.


And that's just the accuracy of the first article in this "FAQ" that
I've had cause to look at. Doesn't hold out much hope for the rest of it
being any better, perhaps this is why it was hidden. Either way, might
be best to keep it like that.

HTH.
