Christ, is this thread still going ?

Lordy, much as you would like it to be, the law is not as clear cut
as you think

It's very clear. The law says it was a criminal act, and the regulations
that cover ambulance drivers say it was a criminal act. How much clearer
do you want it ?

In this case, perhaps, it is clear that a criminal act occurred.

Well spotted

However, "**** him" is not exactly a helpful attitude.

Agreed, it was a conversation opener tho

At worst he made a mistake

He did not make a "mistake". He deliberately broke the law relying on
the fact that if he was caught he would be let off for extenuating
circumstances. And he did it in the full knowledge of what he was doing.

104 on the A1 late is by no means excessive

I agree, but neither yours nor my opinion of 'excessive' is relevant to
anything. And regardless, 104 actual is likely to have been somewhere in
the region of 115mph to 120mph indicated speed on his dashboard.
